CVE-2024-58002: media: uvcvideo: Remove dangling pointers
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: 0.25% (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 117f7a2975baa4b7d702d3f4830d5a4ebd0c6d50, 221cd51efe4565501a3dbf04cc011b537dcce7fb, 2a29413ace64627e178fd422dd8a5d95219a2c0b; azl3 kernel 6.6.78.1-3 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.82.1-1; azl3 kernel 6.6.82.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.82.1-1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 117f7a2975baa4b7d702d3f4830d5a4ebd0c6d50, 221cd51efe4565501a3dbf04cc011b537dcce7fb, 2a29413ace64627e178fd422dd8a5d95219a2c0b; azl3 kernel 6.6.78.1-3 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.82.1-1; azl3 kernel 6.6.82.1-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.82.1-1 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: media: uvcvideo: Remove dangling pointers When an async control is written, we copy a pointer to the file handle that started the operation. That pointer will be used when the device is done. Which could be anytime in the future. If the user closes that file descriptor, its structure will be freed, and there will be one dangling pointer per pending async control, that the driver will try to use. Clean all the dangling pointers during release(). To avoid adding a performance penalty in the most common case (no async operation), a counter has been introduced with some logic to make sure that it is properly handled.
