#VU97842 Input validation error in Linux kernel - CVE-2024-46818

Vulnerability identifier: #VU97842

Vulnerability risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 4.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-46818

CWE-ID: CWE-20

Exploitation vector: Local

Exploit availability: No

Vulnerable software:
Linux kernel
Operating systems & Components / Operating system

Vendor: Linux Foundation

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the is_pin_busy(), set_pin_busy(), set_pin_free(), dal_gpio_service_lock() and dal_gpio_service_unlock() functions in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/gpio/gpio_service.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation
Install update from vendor's website.
