CVE-2024-26940

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published May 1, 2024 linux EPSS 0.23% (13th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-26940 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on May 1, 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/vmwgfx: Create debugfs ttm_resource_manager entry only if needed

The driver creates /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/mob_ttm even when the

corresponding ttm_resource_manager is not allocated.

This leads to a crash when trying to read from this file.

Add a check to create mob_ttm, system_mob_ttm, and gmr_ttm debug file

only when the corresponding ttm_resource_manager is allocated.
