Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2024-53060

medium Nessus Plugin ID 230406

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: prevent NULL pointer dereference if ATIF is not supported acpi_evaluate_object() may return AE_NOT_FOUND (failure), which would result in dereferencing buffer.pointer (obj) while being NULL. Although this case may be unrealistic for the current code, it is still better to protect against possible bugs. Bail out also when status is AE_NOT_FOUND. This fixes 1 FORWARD_NULL issue reported by Coverity Report: CID 1600951: Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL) (cherry picked from commit 91c9e221fe2553edf2db71627d8453f083de87a1) (CVE-2024-53060)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
