CVE-2024-53080

7.8 · HIGH
Published Nov 19, 2024 linux CWE-667 EPSS 0.21% (11th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-53080 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on November 19, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, 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:

drm/panthor: Lock XArray when getting entries for the VM

Similar to commit cac075706f29 ("drm/panthor: Fix race when converting

group handle to group object") we need to use the XArray's internal

locking when retrieving a vm pointer from there.

v2: Removed part of the patch that was trying to protect fetching

the heap pointer from XArray, as that operation is protected by

the @pool->lock.

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.
