5.5 · MEDIUMOverview
CVE-2024-26667 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on April 2, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/dpu: check for valid hw_pp in dpu_encoder_helper_phys_cleanup
The commit 8b45a26f2ba9 ("drm/msm/dpu: reserve cdm blocks for writeback
in case of YUV output") introduced a smatch warning about another
conditional block in dpu_encoder_helper_phys_cleanup() which had assumed
hw_pp will always be valid which may not necessarily be true.
Lets fix the other conditional block by making sure hw_pp is valid
before dereferencing it.
