CVE-2024-42309 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 kernel-cross-headers.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-cross-headers package and not the kernel-cross-headers package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/gma500: fix null pointer dereference in psb_intel_lvds_get_modes
In psb_intel_lvds_get_modes(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate() is assigned to mode, which will lead to a possible NULL pointer dereference on failure of drm_mode_duplicate(). Add a check to avoid npd.
