CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.10.9. It has been classified as problematic. This affects the function CalculateSwathAndDETConfiguration_params_st of the component AMD Display. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-476. A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit. The impact remains unknown. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Check UnboundedRequestEnabled's value CalculateSwathAndDETConfiguration_params_st's UnboundedRequestEnabled is a pointer (i.e. dml_bool_t *UnboundedRequestEnabled), and thus if (p->UnboundedRequestEnabled) checks its address, not bool value. This fixes 1 REVERSE_INULL issue reported by Coverity.

The advisory is shared at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2024-46778 since 09/11/2024. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.
