Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-53043
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue concerns the Linux kernel, specifically the mctp i2c component. It involves handling a NULL header address. The `daddr` can be NULL if there is no entry present in the neighbour table, in which case the tx packet should be dropped. The `saddr` is usually set by the MCTP core but checks for NULL in case a packet is transmitted by a different protocol.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
