CVE-2024-50189 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: amd_sfh: Switch to device-managed dmam_alloc_coherent() Using the device-managed version allows to simplify clean-up in probe() error path. Additionally, this device-managed ensures proper cleanup, which helps to resolve memory errors, page faults, btrfs going read-only, and btrfs disk corruption.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's handling of the AMD Sensor Fusion Hub (SFH) HID driver has been addressed. The issue arose from the use of traditional memory allocation methods, which complicated error handling during the driver's initialization process. This mismanagement could lead to various problems, including memory errors, page faults, and corruption of Btrfs filesystems. The vulnerability has been resolved by switching to a device-managed memory allocation approach, which simplifies error recovery and ensures proper cleanup, thereby preventing these issues.
Users can upgrade to the latest Linux kernel version 6.1.119-1~deb11u1 to address this vulnerability. This version is available through the Debian package management system. For systems currently using Linux 5.10, no action is needed as that version will continue to be supported.
