CVE-2024-50276 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

High CVSS 7.8

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: vertexcom: mse102x: Fix possible double free of TX skb The scope of the TX skb is wider than just mse102x_tx_frame_spi(), so in case the TX skb room needs to be expanded, we should free the the temporary skb instead of the original skb. Otherwise the original TX skb pointer would be freed again in mse102x_tx_work(), which leads to crashes: Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000004 [#2] PREEMPT SMP CPU: 0 PID: 712 Comm: kworker/0:1 Tainted: G D 6.6.23 Hardware name: chargebyte Charge SOM DC-ONE (DT) Workqueue: events mse102x_tx_work [mse102x] pstate: 20400009 (nzCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : skb_release_data+0xb8/0x1d8 lr : skb_release_data+0x1ac/0x1d8 sp : ffff8000819a3cc0 x29: ffff8000819a3cc0 x28: ffff0000046daa60 x27: ffff0000057f2dc0 x26: ffff000005386c00 x25: 0000000000000002 x24: 00000000ffffffff x23: 0000000000000000 x22: 0000000000000001 x21: ffff0000057f2e50 x20: 0000000000000006 x19: 0000000000000000 x18: ffff00003fdacfcc x17: e69ad452d0c49def x16: 84a005feff870102 x15: 0000000000000000 x14: 000000000000024a x13: 0000000000000002 x12: 0000000000000000 x11: 0000000000000400 x10: 00000…

Matched remediation archetype

Buffer bounds, memory safety, and memory corruption

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify affected native-code versions, build flags, architectures, parsers, codecs, drivers, and input paths in all shipped artifacts.
  • Determine whether untrusted data reaches the affected routine and the process privilege, sandbox, and network exposure.
  • Confirm statically linked, vendored, firmware, and platform-provided copies, not only package-manager records.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the maintained upstream correction or replace the affected component, then rebuild every dependent artifact from clean inputs.
  • Adopt bounds-checked interfaces, validated sizes and integer conversions, clear ownership, and memory-safe components where practical.
  • Enable supported compiler and runtime hardening and add sanitized tests and fuzz regression seeds derived from non-weaponized fixtures.
