CVE-2024-44994
Linux
CVE-2024-44994: A bug in the Linux kernel's IOMMU (Input/Output Memory Management Unit) code can lead to system instability. Specifically, a missing return statement in the iommu_report_device_fault() function causes the kernel to attempt to re-process a partial fault, leading to a crash. The resolution involves restoring the accidentally deleted return statement, preventing the erroneous fault re-processing. The SVRS score of 30 indicates a low level of immediate risk according to SOCRadar, although any kernel vulnerability should be addressed in a timely fashion to maintain system security. While the CVSS score is moderate, the potential for a kernel crash emphasizes the importance of applying the fix. Addressing this vulnerability will prevent potential system crashes caused by improper fault handling.
