CVE-2024-38664: drm: zynqmp_dpsub: Always register bridge

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • 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: 0.20% (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 603661357056b5e5ba6d86f505fbc936eff396ba, 6ead3eccf67bc8318b1ce95ed879b2cc05b4fce9, be3f3042391d061cfca2bd22630e0d101acea5fc; Azure Linux 3.0 ARM 6.6.35.1-4; Azure Linux 3.0 x64 6.6.35.1-4.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 603661357056b5e5ba6d86f505fbc936eff396ba, 6ead3eccf67bc8318b1ce95ed879b2cc05b4fce9, be3f3042391d061cfca2bd22630e0d101acea5fc; Azure Linux 3.0 ARM 6.6.35.1-4; Azure Linux 3.0 x64 6.6.35.1-4 or later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm: zynqmp_dpsub: Always register bridge We must always register the DRM bridge, since zynqmp_dp_hpd_work_func calls drm_bridge_hpd_notify, which in turn expects hpd_mutex to be initialized. We do this before zynqmp_dpsub_drm_init since that calls drm_bridge_attach. This fixes the following lockdep warning: [ 19.217084] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 19.227530] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->magic != lock) [ 19.227768] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 140 at kernel/locking/mutex.c:582 __mutex_lock+0x4bc/0x550 [ 19.241696] Modules linked in: [ 19.244937] CPU: 0 PID: 140 Comm: kworker/0:4 Not tainted 6.6.20+ #96 [ 19.252046] Hardware name: xlnx,zynqmp (DT) [ 19.256421] Workqueue: events zynqmp_dp_hpd_work_func [ 19.261795] pstate: 60000005 (nZCv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ 19.269104] pc : __mutex_lock+0x4bc/0x550 [ 19.273364] lr : __mutex_lock+0x4bc/0x550 [ 19.277592] sp : ffffffc085c5bbe0 [ 19.281066] x29: ffffffc085c5bbe0 x28: 0000000000000000 x27: ffffff88009417f8 [ 19.288624] x26: ffffff8800941788 x25: ffffff8800020008 x24: ffffffc082aa3000 [ 19.296227] x23: ffffffc080d90e3c x22: 0000000000000002 x21: 0000000000000000 [ 19.303744] x20: 0000000000000000 x19: ffffff88002f5210 x18: 0000000000000000 [ 19.311295] x17: 6c707369642e3030 x16: 3030613464662072 x15: 0720072007200720 [ 19.318922] x14: 0000000000000000 x13: 284e4f5f4e524157 x12: 0000000000000001 [ 19.326442] x11: 0001ffc085c5b940 x10: 0001ff88003f388b x9 : 0001ff88003f3888 [ 19.334003] x8 : 0001ff88003f3888 x7 : 0000000000000000 x6 : 0000000000000000 [ 19.341537] x5 : 0000000000000000 x4 : 0000000000001668 x3 : 0000000000000000 [ 19.349054] x2 : 0000000000000000 x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : ffffff88003f3880 [ 19.356581] Call trace: [ 19.359160] __mutex_lock+0x4bc/0x550 [ 19.363032] mutex_lock_nested+0x24/0x30 [ 19.367187] drm_bridge_hpd_notify+0x2c/0x6c [ 19.371698] zynqmp_dp_hpd_work_func+0x44/0x54 [ 19.376364] process_one_work+0x3ac/0x988 [ 19.380660] worker_thread+0x398/0x694 [ 19.384736] kthread+0x1bc/0x1c0 [ 19.388241] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 [ 19.392031] irq event stamp: 183 [ 19.395450] hardirqs last enabled at (183): [<ffffffc0800b9278>] finish_task_switch.isra.0+0xa8/0x2d4 [ 19.405140] hardirqs last disabled at (182): [<ffffffc081ad3754>] __schedule+0x714/0xd04 [ 19.413612] softirqs last enabled at (114): [<ffffffc080133de8>] srcu_invoke_callbacks+0x158/0x23c [ 19.423128] softirqs last disabled at (110): [<ffffffc080133de8>] srcu_invoke_callbacks+0x158/0x23c [ 19.432614] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- (cherry picked from commit 61ba791c4a7a09a370c45b70a81b8c7d4cf6b2ae)

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.

No history yet (it accumulates with the daily EPSS job).

Patch and commit links

Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.

No commit or PR link among the references.

Credits

All researchers

Finders, reporters and analysts named in the CNA record. Click a name for that researcher’s other records.

No credits in the CNA record.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.

Bug bounty scope

No known public program.

Technical details

Attack conditions

  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it.
  • A low-privileged account is enough.
  • No user action is required.
