LIN1023-8876 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2024-49986

Created: Oct 22, 2024    Updated: Nov 18, 2024
Found In Version: 10.23.30.1
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 23
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

platform/x86: x86-android-tablets: Fix use after free on platform_device_register() errors

x86_android_tablet_remove() frees the pdevs] array, so it should not
be used after calling x86_android_tablet_remove().

When platform_device_register() fails, store the pdevs[x] PTR_ERR() value
into the local ret variable before calling x86_android_tablet_remove()
to avoid using pdevs[] after it has been freed.
