Linux Debian vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
CVE-2022-50011 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel that affects the Venus driver probe functionality. The vulnerability was discovered in the Linux kernel version 5.19.0-rc8-next-20220728 and involves improper handling of OPP (Operating Performance Points) during the Venus driver probe process (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability occurs in the Venus driver probe process where a warning is triggered at drivers/opp/core.c:2471 in the devpmoppsetconfig function. The issue stems from incorrect ordering of code related to OPP core operations. The OPP core expects all configuration options to be provided before the OPP table is added (NVD).
Impact
When triggered, this vulnerability causes a system warning during the Venus driver probe process. The impact appears to be primarily related to system stability and proper initialization of the Venus driver component (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
The vulnerability has been resolved through a fix that reorders the code related to OPP core operations. The fix ensures that all configuration options are properly provided before the OPP table is added (NVD).
