Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-36015
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to the `register device` function in the Linux kernel, where the return value of `ida simple get` is unchecked, leading to the use of an invalid index value. This can cause the kernel to access memory outside the allocated buffer, potentially affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. To address this issue, the index should be checked after `ida simple get`, and when the index value is abnormal, a warning message should be printed, the port should be dropped, and the value should be recorded.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
