Memory Access Issue in Linux Kernel's GPIO Charger Component

CVE-2024-57792

Summary

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's gpio-charger driver has been identified that may allow for incorrect memory access when setting charge current limits. Specifically, if a requested charge current limit is set below the minimum allowable threshold, it could lead to accessing memory beyond the allocated bounds. This issue, if exploited, could result in unpredictable behavior or system instability. Proper handling of charge current parameters is essential to mitigate potential risks.
