CVE-2024-50187 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's DRM/VC4 driver related to performance monitor management. This issue arises because the active performance monitor isn't stopped when its file descriptor is closed, leading to a stale pointer. When a new file descriptor is opened, the driver attempts to stop the monitor using this invalid pointer, potentially causing a system crash. With an SVRS of 30, the vulnerability is not considered critical, but it's still important to address as the pointer is no longer valid and associated processes are terminated. The fix involves explicitly stopping the active performance monitor before it's destroyed and freed, thus ensuring proper resource management within the kernel. Although its CVSS score is 0, it's crucial to address this security concern for system stability. While not immediately critical, failure to patch can lead to potential system instability and unexpected behavior.
