CVE-2024-36959
CVSS v3.1
5.5
Medium
| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.37
Description:
The issue is related to a refcount leak in the
pinctrl dt to map() function. If the allocation of the propname buffer fails, the reference count is not dropped, which can lead to a leak. The pinctrl dt free maps() function includes the dropping operation, so it is called directly to fix the issue. This problem can allow an attacker to access confidential information.Recommendations:
To resolve the issue, update the Linux kernel to version 6.6.37 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
pinctrl dt to map() function until a patch is available.Exploit
