What is known
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: int3472: Check for adev == NULL Not all devices have an ACPI companion fwnode, so adev might be NULL. This can e.g. (theoretically) happen when a user manually binds one of the int3472 drivers to another i2c/platform device through sysfs. Add a check for adev not being set and return -ENODEV in that case to avoid a possible NULL pointer deref in skl_int3472_get_acpi_buffer().
Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2024-58011, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 5.5) affecting linux kernel, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
Recommended administrator action
Confirm whether linux kernel is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
