Vulnerability identifier: #VU105038
Vulnerability risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 4.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-57998
CWE-ID:
CWE-617
Exploitation vector: Local
Exploit availability: No
Vulnerable software:
Linux kernel
Operating systems & Components /
Operating system
Vendor: Linux Foundation
Description
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to reachable assertion within the _find_opp_table(), _opp_table_find_key(), _find_key(), _find_key_exact(), _opp_table_find_key_ceil(), _find_key_ceil(), dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact_indexed(), dev_pm_opp_find_freq_ceil_indexed(), dev_pm_opp_find_freq_floor_indexed(), dev_pm_opp_remove(), _opp_add_v1(), _opp_set_availability() and dev_pm_opp_adjust_voltage() functions in drivers/opp/core.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Mitigation
Install update from vendor's website.
