CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2024-46716
Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: altera-msgdma: properly free descriptor in msgdma_free_descriptor
Remove list_del call in msgdma_chan_desc_cleanup, this should be the role
of msgdma_free_descriptor. In consequence replace list_add_tail with
list_move_tail in msgdma_free_descriptor.
This fixes the path:
msgdma_free_chan_resources -> msgdma_free_descriptors ->
msgdma_free_desc_list -> msgdma_free_descriptor
which does not correctly free the descriptors as first nodes were not
removed from the list.
