5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Nov 19, 2024 linux EPSS 0.20% (10th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-53045 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on November 19, 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: dapm: fix bounds checker error in dapm_widget_list_create

The widgets array in the snd_soc_dapm_widget_list has a __counted_by

attribute attached to it, which points to the num_widgets variable. This

attribute is used in bounds checking, and if it is not set before the

array is filled, then the bounds sanitizer will issue a warning or a

kernel panic if CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP is set.

This patch sets the size of the widgets list calculated with

list_for_each as the initial value for num_widgets as it is used for

allocating memory for the array. It is updated with the actual number of

added elements after the array is filled.

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.
