It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-35920 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-35920/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-35920/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-35920","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-35920/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-35920","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-35920","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-35920","GHSA-78cr-5pf2-63v5","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-35920"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A missing lock in the MediaTek video codec driver allows a race condition leading to a NULL pointer dereference and kernel panic.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmedia: mediatek: vcodec: adding lock to protect decoder context list\n\nAdd a lock for the ctx_list, to avoid accessing a NULL pointer\nwithin the 'vpu_dec_ipi_handler' function when the ctx_list has\nbeen deleted due to an unexpected behavior on the SCP IP block.\n\nHardware name: Google juniper sku16 board (DT)\npstate: 20400005 (nzCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO BTYPE=--)\npc : vpu_dec_ipi_handler+0x58/0x1f8 [mtk_vcodec_dec]\nlr : scp_ipi_handler+0xd0/0x194 [mtk_scp]\nsp : ffffffc0131dbbd0\nx29: ffffffc0131dbbd0 x28: 0000000000000000\nx27: ffffff9bb277f348 x26: ffffff9bb242ad00\nx25: ffffffd2d440d3b8 x24: ffffffd2a13ff1d4\nx23: ffffff9bb7fe85a0 x22: ffffffc0133fbdb0\nx21: 0000000000000010 x20: ffffff9b050ea328\nx19: ffffffc0131dbc08 x18: 0000000000001000\nx17: 0000000000000000 x16: ffffffd2d461c6e0\nx15: 0000000000000242 x14: 000000000000018f\nx13: 000000000000004d x12: 0000000000000000\nx11: 0000000000000001 x10: fffffffffffffff0\nx9 : ffffff9bb6e793a8 x8 : 0000000000000000\nx7 : 0000000000000000 x6 : 000000000000003f\nx5 : 0000000000000040 x4 : fffffffffffffff0\nx3 : 0000000000000020 x2 : ffffff9bb6e79080\nx1 : 0000000000000010 x0 : ffffffc0131dbc08\nCall trace:\nvpu_dec_ipi_handler+0x58/0x1f8 [mtk_vcodec_dec (HASH:6c3f 2)]\nscp_ipi_handler+0xd0/0x194 [mtk_scp (HASH:7046 3)]\nmt8183_scp_irq_handler+0x44/0x88 [mtk_scp (HASH:7046 3)]\nscp_irq_handler+0x48/0x90 [mtk_scp (HASH:7046 3)]\nirq_thread_fn+0x38/0x94\nirq_thread+0x100/0x1c0\nkthread+0x140/0x1fc\nret_from_fork+0x10/0x30\nCode: 54000088 f94ca50a eb14015f 54000060 (f9400108)\n---[ end trace ace43ce36cbd5c93 ]---\nKernel panic -
