CVE-2024-26916

In the Linux kernel, CVE-2024-26916 is tied to the drm/amd gfxoff handling during suspend. Reverting earlier gfxoff flush logic allowed GFXOFF control to be exercised again on suspend, which can trigger SDMA traffic and lead to system deadlocks when suspending from GNOME. The fix is the revert of...

CVE-2024-27432

CVE-2024-27432 affects the Linux kernel net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc (MTK PPE) where PPE could hang when disabling during reboot due to PPE scan mode not being disabled first.

CVE-2024-35977

CVE-2024-35977 : In the Linux kernel, a race in cros_ec_uart caused a NULL pointer dereference in serdev handling when devm_serdev_device_open() was called before serdev->ops were set. The crash path involves the code path that dereferences serdev->ops->receive_buf if serdev is present b...

CVE-2024-36026

CVE-2024-36026 affects the Linux kernel DRM/AMD PM path (drm/amd/pm). The issue causes random hangs during S4 stress tests when using SMU v13.0.4/11, as GC/RLC/PMFW can enter an invalid state and trigger hard hangs. A workaround implemented in the patch adds a GFX reset just before sending the MP...

CVE-2024-38593

CVE-2024-38593 affects the Linux kernel’s net: micrel: lan8841 timestamp handling. Description: the issue occurred when a port was brought up and then down, because the code started using the ptp workqueue to fetch the second timestamp part. If NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING is disabled, the ptp_clock ...

CVE-2024-38606

CVE-2024-38606 in the Linux kernel relates to the crypto/qat path where adf_send_admin_tl_start() loads a slice_cnt array from FW and tl_print_dev_data() reports statistics via debugfs. If the FW returns an unexpected slice count, the code could read beyond the allocated buffer, potentially trigg...

CVE-2024-40968

CVE-2024-40968 affects the Linux kernel on MIPS/Octeon systems. The issue was that after a PCIe link surprise down, the standard PCIe config interface could be abused to cause a kernel panic (“Data bus error”) when accessing peripheral PCIe devices. The fix adds a PCIe link status check and, when...

CVE-2024-42135

CVE-2024-42135 concerns the Linux kernel vhost_task handling of SIGKILL. The connected sources confirm a concrete fix: when a SIGKILL is issued, the kernel now (1) marks the worker as killed to prevent new virtqueue usage and new flush operations, (2) fixes the virtqueue-to-worker mapping to stop...

CVE-2024-42138

CVE-2024-42138 affects the Linux kernel mlxsw mlxsw_linecard_types_init() and mlxsw_linecards_init() in mlxsw core_linecards. When an invalid INI file triggers deallocation, mlxsw_linecard_types_init() frees memory but does not set the pointer to NULL; if an error occurs after the init() call, ml...

CVE-2024-42279

CVE-2024-42279 affects the Linux kernel SPI microchip-core driver. The root cause is that when rx_len == 0, the RX FIFO is not emptied in the interrupt handler, allowing a subsequent transfer to read leftover data from the previous transfer. The documented remediation is to use a register that em...

CVE-2024-42306

The CVE-2024-42306 entry describes a Linux kernel issue in the udf filesystem where a corrupted block bitmap could cause mixed allocation results after a failure, due to bitmap state not being consistently re-validated.

CVE-2024-46845

CVE-2024-46845 (Linux kernel): The timerlat use-after-free occurs when a SIGTERM kills user-space tracing threads, causing an hrtimer to be freed twice during thread shutdown. The documented fix cancels the hrtimer only if the associated thread still exists and adds an interface_lock around tlat_...

CVE-2024-50149

CVE-2024-50149 : In the Linux kernel, the drm/xe path had a repair for freeing a job during TDR, which could cause a use-after-free because TDR may run the run_job thread. The fix prevents freeing the job in TDR and instead queues it (or lets the scheduler free it). A patch was cherry-picked into...

CVE-2024-50253

CVE-2024-50253 affects the Linux kernel’s BPF interpreter, specifically the bpf_iter_bits_new() path in kernel/bpf/helpers.c.
