Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

CVE-2024-35924 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade torvalds/linux to version 6.1.191, 6.6.27, 6.8.6 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow in the usb: typec: ucsi process. An attacker can access sensitive kernel memory contents by triggering oversized reads via local access to sysfs or debugfs interfaces. This may result in disclosure of up to 240 bytes of adjacent heap memory, potentially exposing pointers or other sensitive data, and may also cause system instability or crashes if the memory mapping does not extend far enough.
Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
