What to do
AI-suggested
A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel to add a check for the ACPI device pointer being NULL and return an error to avoid the NULL pointer dereference. Users should update to the latest kernel versions containing this fix. Since this is a local vulnerability requiring manual driver binding, standard kernel updates mitigate the risk.
Description
CVE-2024-58011 is a medium-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's platform/x86 int3472 driver. It arises because the driver did not check if the ACPI device pointer (adev) was NULL, which can occur if a user manually binds the int3472 driver to an incompatible device. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference causing a denial of service (kernel crash).
