Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Linux Kernel up to 6.1.128/6.6.75/6.12.12/6.13.1. This issue affects the function atomctrl_get_smc_sclk_range_table of the component AMD GPU. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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. Impacted is availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in atomctrl_get_smc_sclk_range_table The function atomctrl_get_smc_sclk_range_table() does not check the return value of smu_atom_get_data_table(). If smu_atom_get_data_table() fails to retrieve SMU_Info table, it returns NULL which is later dereferenced. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE. In practice this should never happen as this code only gets called on polaris chips and the vbios data table will always be present on those chips.

The advisory is shared at git.kernel.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2024-58052 since 03/06/2025. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.
