Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-27432
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description:
The issue is related to an error in resource management in the Linux kernel's ethernet component. A patch was found in MediaTek's GPL-licensed SDK to resolve the issue, which involves the `mtk ppe stop()` function not disabling the PPE scan mode before disabling the PPE. This can potentially lead to a hang during the process of disabling the PPE, and without the patch, the PPE may experience a hang during the reboot test.
Recommendations:
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
