CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2024-57978
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:
media: imx-jpeg: Fix potential error pointer dereference in detach_pm()
The proble is on the first line:
if (jpeg->pd_dev[i] && !pm_runtime_suspended(jpeg->pd_dev[i]))
If jpeg->pd_dev[i] is an error pointer, then passing it to
pm_runtime_suspended() will lead to an Oops. The other conditions
check for both error pointers and NULL, but it would be more clear to
use the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() check for that.
