Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2024-58003

high Nessus Plugin ID 231284

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: media: i2c: ds90ub9x3: Fix extra fwnode_handle_put() The ub913 and ub953 drivers call fwnode_handle_put(priv->sd.fwnode) as part of their remove process, and if the driver is removed multiple times, eventually leads to put overflow, possibly causing memory corruption or crash. The fwnode_handle_put() is a leftover from commit 905f88ccebb1 (media: i2c: ds90ub9x3: Fix sub-device matching), which changed the code related to the sd.fwnode, but missed removing these fwnode_handle_put() calls. (CVE-2024-58003)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
