Overview

CVE-2024-53223 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on December 27, 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:

clk: ralink: mtmips: fix clocks probe order in oldest ralink SoCs

Base clocks are the first in being probed and are real dependencies of the

rest of fixed, factor and peripheral clocks. For old ralink SoCs RT2880,

RT305x and RT3883 'xtal' must be defined first since in any other case,

when fixed clocks are probed they are delayed until 'xtal' is probed so the

following warning appears:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at drivers/clk/ralink/clk-mtmips.c:499 rt3883_bus_recalc_rate+0x98/0x138

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2024-53223?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine.
