CVE-2024-57998: OPP: add index check to assert to avoid buffer overflow in _read_freq()

HighCVSS 7.8 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

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: 0.24% (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 774dd6f0f0a61c9c3848e025d7d9eeed1a7ca4cd, 7d68c20638e50d5eb4576492a7958328ae445248, d659bc68ed489022ea33342cfbda2911a81e7a0d.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 774dd6f0f0a61c9c3848e025d7d9eeed1a7ca4cd, 7d68c20638e50d5eb4576492a7958328ae445248, d659bc68ed489022ea33342cfbda2911a81e7a0d or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: OPP: add index check to assert to avoid buffer overflow in _read_freq() Pass the freq index to the assert function to make sure we do not read a freq out of the opp->rates[] table when called from the indexed variants: dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact_indexed() or dev_pm_opp_find_freq_ceil/floor_indexed(). Add a secondary parameter to the assert function, unused for assert_single_clk() then add assert_clk_index() which will check for the clock index when called from the _indexed() find functions.
