CVE-2024-53181 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2024-53181: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: um: vector: Do not use drvdata in release The drvdata is not available in release. Let's just use container_of() to get the vector_device instance. Otherwise, removing a vector device will result in a crash: RIP: 0033:vector_device_release+0xf/0x50 RSP: 00000000e187bc40 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 0000000060028f61 RBX: 00000000600f1baf RCX: 00000000620074e0 RDX: 000000006220b9c0 RSI: 0000000060551c80 RDI: 0000000000000000 RBP: 00000000e187bc50 R08: 00000000603ad594 R09: 00000000e187bb70 R10: 000000000000135a R11: 00000000603ad422 R12: 00000000623ae028 R13: 000000006287a200 R14: 0000000062006d30 R15: 00000000623700b6 Kernel panic - not syncing: Segfault with no mm CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 16 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 6.12.0-rc6-g59b723cd2adb #1 Workqueue: events mc_work_proc Stack: 60028f61 623ae028 e187bc80 60276fcd 6220b9c0 603f5820 623ae028 00000000 e187bcb0 603a2bcd 623ae000 62370010 Call Trace: [<60028f61>] ? vector_device_release+0x0/0x50 [<60276fcd>] device_release+0x70/0xba [<603a2bcd>] kobject_put+0xba/0xe7 [<60277265>] put_device+0x19/0x1c [<60281266>] platform_device_put+0x26/0x29 [<60281e5f>] platform_device_unregister+0x2c/0x2e [<60029422>] vector_remove+0x52/0x58 [<60031316>] ? mconsole_reply+0x0/0x50 [<600310c8>] mconsole_remove+0x160/0x1cc [<603b19f4>] ? strlen+0x0/0x15 [<60066611>] ? __dequeue_entity+0x1a9/0x206 [<600666a7>] ? set_next_entity+0x39/0x63 [<6006666e>] ? set_next_entity+0x0/0x63 [<60038fa6>] ? um_set_signals+0x0/0x43 [<6003070c>] mc_work_proc+0x77/0x91 [<60057664>] process_scheduled_works+0x1b3/0x2dd [<60055f32>] ? assign_work+0x0/0x58 [<60057f0a>] worker_thread+0x1e9/0x293 [<6005406f>] ? set_pf_worker+0x0/0x64 [<6005d65d>] ? arch_local_irq_save+0x0/0x2d [<6005d748>] ? kthread_exit+0x0/0x3a [<60057d21>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0x293 [<6005dbf1>] kthread+0x126/0x12b [<600219c5>] new_thread_handler+0x85/0xb6

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2024-53181

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2024-53181 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2024-53181

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2024-53181.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2024-53181, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis

Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2024-53181, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.

Confidentiality: None
