What to do

AI-suggested

A fix for this vulnerability has been applied in the Linux kernel source code. Users should update their Linux kernel to a version that includes this fix. Since no explicit patch versions are provided, check the vendor or kernel mailing lists for the official fixed release. No other mitigation is indicated.

Description

CVE-2024-56562 is a medium severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's i3c master driver. It involves a fix for an incorrect free operation where the wrong pointer was freed due to a copy/paste error in the i3c_master_put_i3c_addrs() function. The fix replaces freeing the 'dyn_addr' pointer with the correct 'init_dyn_addr' pointer. This vulnerability affects kernel memory management related to the I3C bus address handling and could cause an availability impact.
