CVE-2024-58063

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Mar 6, 2025 linux CWE-401 EPSS 0.20% (10th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-58063 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on March 6, 2025 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:

wifi: rtlwifi: fix memory leaks and invalid access at probe error path

Deinitialize at reverse order when probe fails.

When init_sw_vars fails, rtl_deinit_core should not be called, specially

now that it destroys the rtl_wq workqueue.

And call rtl_pci_deinit and deinit_sw_vars, otherwise, memory will be

leaked.

Remove pci_set_drvdata call as it will already be cleaned up by the core

driver code and could lead to memory leaks too. cf. commit 8d450935ae7f

("wireless: rtlwifi: remove unnecessary pci_set_drvdata()") and

commit 3d86b93064c7 ("rtlwifi: Fix PCI probe error path orphaned memory").

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.
