AI-suggested

A patch is available and has been released in multiple Linux kernel versions starting from 5.15.0-1072.78~20.04.1 and subsequent updates. Users and administrators should apply these kernel updates to remediate the vulnerability. No additional mitigation is required beyond applying the official fixes provided by the vendor.

Description

CVE-2024-46810 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drm/bridge subsystem involving the tc358767 driver. The issue occurs because the connector is not checked for full initialization before signaling Hot Plug Detect (HPD) events via an interrupt request (IRQ), which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference and cause a denial of service (system crash). This flaw has been fixed in multiple Linux kernel versions starting from 5.15.0-1072.78~20.04.1 and later.
