CVE-2024-56682: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: irqchip/riscv-aplic: Prevent crash when MSI domain is missing If the APLIC driver is probed before the IMSIC driver, the parent MSI domain will be missing, which causes a NULL pointer dereference in msi_create_device_irq_domain(). Avoid this by deferring probe until the parent MSI domain is available. Use dev_err_probe() to avoid printing an error message when returning -EPROBE_DEFER.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 6.10, before 6.12.2 (fixed in 6.12.2)
