Vulnerability :
A critical vulnerability (CVE-2024-50276) has been identified in the Linux kernel’s vertexcom module. This flaw can lead to a double free of the Transmission (TX) skb, potentially causing system crashes.
Vulnerability Details:
The issue arises because the scope of the TX skb extends beyond the intended function (`mse102x_tx_frame_spi`). If the TX skb room needs to be expanded, the original skb might be incorrectly freed again during `mse102x_tx_work`, resulting in a crash.
Form:
Platform: Linux Kernel
Version: Not specified (all versions vulnerable before fix)
Vulnerability: Double free of TX skb
Severity: Critical
Date: November 18, 2024 (NVD published date)
What Undercode Says:
This critical vulnerability in the Linux kernel can lead to system instability and crashes. It’s crucial to update your Linux kernel to a patched version (6.1.117, 6.6.61, or 6.11.8) to mitigate this risk.
