CVE-2024-47663

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Oct 9, 2024 linux CWE-369 EPSS 0.21% (12th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-47663 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on October 9, 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:

staging: iio: frequency: ad9834: Validate frequency parameter value

In ad9834_write_frequency() clk_get_rate() can return 0. In such case

ad9834_calc_freqreg() call will lead to division by zero. Checking

'if (fout > (clk_freq / 2))' doesn't protect in case of 'fout' is 0.

ad9834_write_frequency() is called from ad9834_write(), where fout is

taken from text buffer, which can contain any value.

Modify parameters checking.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

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.
