CVE-2024-56543 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2024-56543: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: Skip Rx TID cleanup for self peer During peer create, dp setup for the peer is done where Rx TID is updated for all the TIDs. Peer object for self peer will not go through dp setup. When core halts, dp cleanup is done for all the peers. While cleanup, rx_tid::ab is accessed which causes below stack trace for self peer. WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 12297 at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k/dp_rx.c:851 Call Trace: __warn+0x7b/0x1a0 ath12k_dp_rx_frags_cleanup+0xd2/0xe0 [ath12k] report_bug+0x10b/0x200 handle_bug+0x3f/0x70 exc_invalid_op+0x13/0x60 asm_exc_invalid_op+0x16/0x20 ath12k_dp_rx_frags_cleanup+0xd2/0xe0 [ath12k] ath12k_dp_rx_frags_cleanup+0xca/0xe0 [ath12k] ath12k_dp_rx_peer_tid_cleanup+0x39/0xa0 [ath12k] ath12k_mac_peer_cleanup_all+0x61/0x100 [ath12k] ath12k_core_halt+0x3b/0x100 [ath12k] ath12k_core_reset+0x494/0x4c0 [ath12k] sta object in peer will be updated when remote peer is created.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2024-56543

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2024-56543 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-2024-56543

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2024-56543.

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-2024-56543, 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-2024-56543, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.

  • Confidentiality: None
