{"id":"AZL-51219","summary":"CVE-2024-47705 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.56.1-5","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nblock: fix potential invalid pointer dereference in blk_add_partition\n\nThe blk_add_partition() function initially used a single if-condition\n(IS_ERR(part)) to check for errors when adding a partition. This was\nmodified to handle the specific case of -ENXIO separately, allowing the\nfunction to proceed without logging the error in this case. However,\nthis change unintentionally left a path where md_autodetect_dev()\ncould be called without confirming that part is a valid pointer.\n\nThis commit separates the error handling logic by splitting the\ninitial if-condition, improving code readability and handling specific\nerror scenarios explicitly. The function now distinguishes the general\nerror case from -ENXIO without altering the existing behavior of\nmd_autodetect_dev() calls.","modified":"2026-04-01T05:17:42.051560Z","published":"2024-10-21T12:15:07Z","upstream":["CVE-2024-47705"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-47705"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.6.56.1-5"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-51219.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
