CVE-2024-35952

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published May 20, 2024 linux CWE-667 EPSS 0.17% (7th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-35952 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on May 20, 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/ast: Fix soft lockup

There is a while-loop in ast_dp_set_on_off() that could lead to

infinite-loop. This is because the register, VGACRI-Dx, checked in

this API is a scratch register actually controlled by a MCU, named

DPMCU, in BMC.

These scratch registers are protected by scu-lock. If suc-lock is not

off, DPMCU can not update these registers and then host will have soft

lockup due to never updated status.

DPMCU is used to control DP and relative registers to handshake with

host's VGA driver. Even the most time-consuming task, DP's link

training, is less than 100ms. 200ms should be enough.

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.
