Description
CVE-2024-42223 is a medium-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's media DVB frontend driver for the tda10048 device. It involves an integer overflow issue where the state->xtal_hz value, which can be up to 16 million, overflows a 32-bit integer when multiplied by pll_mfactor. This flaw has been fixed by introducing a 64-bit variable for the calculation. The vulnerability affects multiple Linux kernel versions prior to specific fixed releases. No known exploitation in the wild has been reported.
