Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.1.128/6.6.75/6.12.12/6.13.1. It has been classified as problematic. This affects the function rproc_alloc in the library lib/idr.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a initialization vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-665. The product does not initialize or incorrectly initializes a resource, which might leave the resource in an unexpected state when it is accessed or used. The impact remains unknown. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: remoteproc: core: Fix ida_free call while not allocated In the rproc_alloc() function, on error, put_device(&rproc->dev) is called, leading to the call of the rproc_type_release() function. An error can occurs before ida_alloc is called. In such case in rproc_type_release(), the condition (rproc->index >= 0) is true as rproc->index has been initialized to 0. ida_free() is called reporting a warning: [ 4.181906] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 24 at lib/idr.c:525 ida_free+0x100/0x164 [ 4.186378] stm32-display-dsi 5a000000.dsi: Fixed dependency cycle(s) with /soc/dsi@5a000000/panel@0 [ 4.188854] ida_free called for id=0 which is not allocated.

The advisory is shared at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2024-58056 since 03/06/2025. The exploitability is told to be difficult. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 232260 (Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2024-58056), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.

Upgrading to version 6.1.129, 6.6.76, 6.12.13, 6.13.2 or 6.14-rc1 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch 2cf54928e7e32362215c69b68a6a53d110323bf3/b32d60a852bb3952886625d0c3b1c9a88c3ceb7c/f2013d19b7704cd723ab42664b8d9408ea8cc77c/e9efd9fa4679803fe23188d7b47119cf7bc2de6f/7378aeb664e5ebc396950b36a1f2dedf5aabec20 is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at git.kernel.org. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Tenable (232260) and CERT Bund (WID-SEC-2025-1439). Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
