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 6.12.1 and classified as problematic. Affected by this issue is the function geni_se_clk_tbl_get of the component geni-se. The manipulation of the argument clk_perf_tbl[] with an unknown input leads to a iteration vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-834. The product performs an iteration or loop without sufficiently limiting the number of times that the loop is executed. Impacted is availability. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: soc: qcom: geni-se: fix array underflow in geni_se_clk_tbl_get() This loop is supposed to break if the frequency returned from clk_round_rate() is the same as on the previous iteration. However, that check doesn't make sense on the first iteration through the loop. It leads to reading before the start of these->clk_perf_tbl[] array.

The advisory is shared for download at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2024-53158 since 11/19/2024. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 214457 (SUSE SLES15 Security Update : kernel (SUSE-SU-2025:0201-1)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
