Description

CVE-2024-50198 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.64.2-1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iio: light: veml6030: fix IIO device retrieval from embedded device

The dev pointer that is received as an argument in the

in_illuminance_period_available_show function references the device

embedded in the IIO device, not in the i2c client.

dev_to_iio_dev() must be used to accessthe right data. The current

implementation leads to a segmentation fault on every attempt to read

the attribute because indio_dev gets a NULL assignment.

This bug has been present since the first appearance of the driver,

apparently since the last version (V6) before getting applied. A

constant attribute was used until then, and the last modifications might

have not been tested again.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity none, availability high.
