CVE-2024-58078

CVSS v3.1

5.5

Medium

VectorAV: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 (affected versions not specified)
Description A mismatch in the Linux kernel's misc minor alloc and misc minor free functions has been identified. The issue arises because misc minor alloc only allocates IDs using ida for MISC DYNAMIC MINOR, while misc minor free always frees IDs using ida free, leading to a warning when ida free is called for an unallocated ID. The problem occurs in the ida free function at lib/idr.c and is triggered by the misc minor free and misc deregister functions.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
