CVE-2024-26971: clk: qcom: gcc-ipq5018: fix terminating of frequency table arrays

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)

The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.23% (FIRST EPSS).
Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
Fixed version: Linux Linux 50c3acd460551cdf9d8ac6fe0c04f2de0e8e0872, 90ad946fff70f312b8d23226afc38c13ddd88c4b, b0cf3d200e8a72b6d28e6e088c062b4a98cb5eaf.
Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 50c3acd460551cdf9d8ac6fe0c04f2de0e8e0872, 90ad946fff70f312b8d23226afc38c13ddd88c4b, b0cf3d200e8a72b6d28e6e088c062b4a98cb5eaf or later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: clk: qcom: gcc-ipq5018: fix terminating of frequency table arrays The frequency table arrays are supposed to be terminated with an empty element. Add such entry to the end of the arrays where it is missing in order to avoid possible out-of-bound access when the table is traversed by functions like qcom_find_freq() or qcom_find_freq_floor().
