CVE-2024-46674

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to the st dwc3 probe() function in the Linux kernel, which is associated with the reuse of previously freed memory. This can lead to an impact on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The problem arises from the probe function not performing any platform device allocation, making the error path "undo platform dev alloc" unnecessary. This drops the reference count from the platform device being probed, potentially resulting in unbalanced device reference counts and premature release of device resources, thus possible use-after-free when releasing remaining devm-managed resources.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
