Dado que axi_desc_put() maneja hw_desc considerando descs_allocated, este escenario provocar\u00eda un p\u00e1nico en el kernel (la matriz hw_desc se desbordar\u00e1). Para solucionar este problema, la propuesta es agregar un nuevo miembro a la estructura axi_dma_desc, donde mantenemos el n\u00famero de hw_descs asignados (axi_desc_alloc()) y lo usamos en axi_desc_put() para manejar la matriz hw_desc correctamente. Adem\u00e1s, propongo eliminar la llamada axi_chan_start_first_queued() despu\u00e9s de completar la transferencia, ya que se identific\u00f3 que puede ocurrir un desequilibrio (los descriptores iniciados pueden interrumpirse y la transferencia se ignora debido a que el canal DMA no est\u00e1 habilitado)."}], "id": "CVE-2024-40970", "lastModified": "2026-06-17T07:46:59.263", "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"cvssData": {"attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 5.5, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "version": "3.1"}, "exploitabilityScore": 1.8, "impactScore": 3.6, "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}], "ssvcV203": [{"source": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "ssvcData": {"id": "CVE-2024-40970", "options": [{"exploitation": "none"}, {"automatable": "no"}, {"technicalImpact": "partial"}], "role": "CISA Coordinator", "timestamp": "2024-09-10T17:02:57.618240Z", "version": "2.0.3"}}]}, "published": "2024-07-12T13:15:18.687", "references": [{"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/333e11bf47fa8d477db90e2900b1ed3c9ae9b697"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7c3bb96a20cd8db3b8824b2ff08b6cde4505c7e5"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9004784e8d68bcd1ac1376407ba296fa28f04dbe"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dd42570018f5962c10f215ad9c21274ed5d3541e"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e151ae1ee065cf4b8ce4394ddb9d9c8df6370c66"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/333e11bf47fa8d477db90e2900b1ed3c9ae9b697"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7c3bb96a20cd8db3b8824b2ff08b6cde4505c7e5"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9004784e8d68bcd1ac1376407ba296fa28f04dbe"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dd42570018f5962c10f215ad9c21274ed5d3541e"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e151ae1ee065cf4b8ce4394ddb9d9c8df6370c66"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/01/msg00001.html"}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "vulnStatus": "Modified", "weaknesses": [{"description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "NVD-CWE-noinfo"}], "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}
