CVE-2024-57916

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.74

Description The issue concerns a kernel panic caused by improper handling of IRQs while accessing GPIO values. This is resolved by replacing generic handle irq with handle nested irq. The problem is related to the management of IRQ GPIO in the Linux kernel.

Recommendations For versions prior to 6.6.74, update to version 6.6.74 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider modifying the IRQ handling mechanism to use handle nested irq instead of generic handle irq until a patch is available. Restrict access to GPIO values to minimize the risk of kernel panic.
