CVE-2024-46743

7.3 · HIGH
Published Sep 18, 2024 linux CWE-125 EPSS 0.29% (22th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-46743 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on September 18, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.3 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.3, rated HIGH. 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:

of/irq: Prevent device address out-of-bounds read in interrupt map walk

When of_irq_parse_raw() is invoked with a device address smaller than

the interrupt parent node (from #address-cells property), KASAN detects

the following out-of-bounds read when populating the initial match table

(dyndbg="func of_irq_parse_* +p"):

OF: of_irq_parse_one: dev=/soc@0/picasso/watchdog, index=0

OF: parent=/soc@0/pci@878000000000/gpio0@17,0, intsize=2

OF: intspec=4

OF: of_irq_parse_raw: ipar=/soc@0/pci@878000000000/gpio0@17,0, size=2

OF: -> addrsize=3
