CVE-2024-36015
CVE-2024-36015 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ppdev driver related to improper error handling during device registration. The vulnerability arises from a missing check on the return value of ida_simple_get
in the register_device
function, potentially leading to the use of an invalid index value. This flaw could cause unpredictable behavior or system instability. While the CVSS score is 0, indicating a low base score, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30. The SVRS score of 30 suggests that while not critical, this kernel vulnerability requires monitoring. Specifically, a failure to properly manage the index could result in unexpected driver behavior. The fix involves adding a check on the index value after retrieval and dropping the port if an abnormal value is detected, thus preventing further issues. Although the vulnerability doesn't pose an immediate critical threat, its presence in the Linux kernel necessitates prompt patching to maintain system stability and prevent potential exploits.
