CVE-2024-57980

HighCVSS 7.8/10Last modified Oct 15, 2026

Description

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

media: uvcvideo: Fix double free in error path

If the uvc_status_init() function fails to allocate the int_urb, it will free the dev->status pointer but doesn't reset the pointer to NULL. This results in the kfree() call in uvc_status_cleanup() trying to double-free the memory. Fix it by resetting the dev->status pointer to NULL after freeing it.
