# CVE-2024-58068: OPP: fix dev_pm_opp_find_bw_*() when bandwidth table not initialized

> A null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel OPP subsystem causes a crash when bandwidth tables are uninitialized, leading to denial of service.

- **Severity:** Medium 5.5 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H`)
- **Exploited in the wild:** Not known
- **Login needed:** Any signed-in user
- **Attackable:** Local or same network only
- **Victim action needed:** Not needed
- **Fix available:** Yes
- **Published:** 6 Mar 2025
- **Updated:** 15 Oct 2026
- **Also known as:** BELL-CVE-2024-58068, DEBIAN-CVE-2024-58068, GHSA-fvgf-g9j6-cf8m, ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2024-58068, UBUNTU-CVE-2024-58068

## What is CVE-2024-58068?

CVE-2024-58068 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 6 Mar 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

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

OPP: fix dev_pm_opp_find_bw_*() when bandwidth table not initialized

If a driver calls dev_pm_opp_find_bw_ceil/floor() the retrieve bandwidth
from the OPP table but the bandwidth table was not created because the
interconnect properties were missing in the OPP consumer node, the
kernel will crash with:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000004
...
pc : _read_bw+0x8/0x10
lr : _opp_table_find_key+0x9c/0x174
...
Call trace:
  _read_bw+0x8/0x10 (P)
  _opp_table_find_key+0x9c/0x174 (L)
  _find_key+0x98/0x168
  dev_pm_opp_find_bw_ceil+0x50/0x88
...

In order to fix the crash, create an assert function to check
if the bandwidth table was created before trying to get a
bandwidth with _read_bw().

Weakness: CWE-476 (NULL Pointer Dereference)

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2024-58068 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2024-58068 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 6 Mar 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-58068 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
