A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), CISA KEV (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade SUSE to 4.18.0-553.40.1.

Description

This is a kernel live patch module which can be loaded by the kpatch command line utility to modify the code of a running kernel. This patch module is targeted for kernel-4.18.0-477.43.1.el8_8. Security Fix(es): * kernel: media: uvcvideo: Skip parsing frames of type UVC_VS_UNDEFINED in uvc_parse_format (CVE-2024-53104) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Impact

The vulnerability affects the kernel-rt packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and its variants, potentially impacting systems using the Real Time Linux Kernel. The security impact is rated as important by Red Hat Product Security. No known exploits in the wild have been reported. The vulnerability could lead to issues related to improper handling of undefined video frames in the kernel media subsystem, but specific exploitation impact details are not provided in the advisory.

Mitigation

Red Hat has released updated kernel-rt packages that fix this vulnerability by skipping the parsing of frames of type UVC_VS_UNDEFINED. Users should apply the security update as described in the Red Hat advisory (RHSA-2025:1230 and RHSA-2025:1231) and reboot affected systems to ensure the patch takes effect. For detailed update instructions, refer to https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor.

Summary

CVE-2024-53104 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's uvcvideo driver where frames of type UVC_VS_UNDEFINED are parsed incorrectly in the uvc_parse_format function. This flaw is addressed by skipping the parsing of such frames. Red Hat has released security updates for the kernel-rt packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, including Real Time, NFV, RT, and Extended Life Cycle variants. The advisories classify the update as important, and the fix involves applying the updated kernel-rt packages and rebooting the system.
