CVE-2024-50105

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Nov 5, 2024 linux CWE-476 EPSS 0.20% (10th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-50105 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on November 5, 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:

ASoC: qcom: sc7280: Fix missing Soundwire runtime stream alloc

Commit 15c7fab0e047 ("ASoC: qcom: Move Soundwire runtime stream alloc to

soundcards") moved the allocation of Soundwire stream runtime from the

Qualcomm Soundwire driver to each individual machine sound card driver,

except that it forgot to update SC7280 card.

Just like for other Qualcomm sound cards using Soundwire, the card

driver should allocate and release the runtime. Otherwise sound

playback will result in a NULL pointer dereference or other effect of

uninitialized memory accesses (which was confirmed on SDM845 having

similar issue).

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.
