CVE-2024-26912
5.5 · MEDIUMOverview
CVE-2024-26912 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on April 17, 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/nouveau: fix several DMA buffer leaks
Nouveau manages GSP-RM DMA buffers with nvkm_gsp_mem objects. Several of
these buffers are never dealloced. Some of them can be deallocated
right after GSP-RM is initialized, but the rest need to stay until the
driver unloads.
Also futher bullet-proof these objects by poisoning the buffer and
clearing the nvkm_gsp_mem object when it is deallocated. Poisoning
the buffer should trigger an error (or crash) from GSP-RM if it tries
to access the buffer after we've deallocated it, because we were wrong
about when it is safe to deallocate.
Finally, change the mem->size field to a size_t because that's the same
type that dma_alloc_coherent expects.
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
