CVE-2024-23848: n/a
In the Linux kernel through 6.7.1, there is a use-after-free in cec_queue_msg_fh, related to drivers/media/cec/core/cec-adap.c and drivers/media/cec/core/cec-api.c.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a use-after-free condition in the Linux kernel's CEC subsystem, affecting the cec_queue_msg_fh function within drivers/media/cec/core/cec-adap.c and drivers/media/cec/core/cec-api.c. The flaw can lead to a denial of service by causing a system crash. It affects Linux kernel versions through 6.7.1. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.5, reflecting local attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and impact limited to availability.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability can cause a denial of service (system crash) but does not affect confidentiality or integrity. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is available, consider limiting access to the affected kernel subsystem and monitor for updates from the Linux kernel maintainers.
