A patch is available and has been released in multiple Linux kernel versions including 5.4.0-1135.145~18.04.1 and later. Users and administrators should update to one of the fixed kernel versions to remediate this issue. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond applying the official kernel updates.
Description
CVE-2024-46675 is a medium-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's DesignWare USB3 (dwc3) core affecting certain versions. It involves improper handling of the USB core event buffer address during runtime suspend on Exynos platforms, which can lead to SMMU faults and memory issues. The flaw occurs because the event buffer address may be cleared while the USB core is still active, causing invalid memory access. This issue has been fixed in several updated Linux kernel versions.
