CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: kernel (CVE-2024-56787)

The version of kernel installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-56787 advisory. - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: soc: imx8m: Probe the SoC driver as...

CVE-2024-56787 soc: imx8m: Probe the SoC driver as platform driver

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: soc: imx8m: Probe the SoC driver as platform driver With driverasyncprobe= on kernel command line, the following trace is produced because on i.MX8M Plus hardware because the soc-imx8m.c driver calls ofclkgetbyname which returns...

CVE-2024-56787

CVE-2024-56787 documents a Linux kernel issue where imx8m SoC code probed as a driver caused -EPROBE_DEFER when clock driver wasn’t probed yet. The fix converts the SoC code to a platform driver and instantiates it in current device_initcall, propagating -EPROBE_DEFER through the .probe retry mec...

Linux Kernel Security Vulnerabilities

Linux kernel is the kernel used by Linux, the open source operating system of the Linux Foundation in the United States. A security vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel, which originates when the SoC driver for the i.MX8M Plus hardware is probed asynchronously, as the clock driver has not yet...
