CVE-2024-58054

Kernel crash via overwritten I2C client data

Published Mar 6, 2025 · Updated May 11, 2026

Denial of service in the Linux kernel max96712 driver from 5.17 allows local users to crash the kernel by removing the module. The v4l2_i2c_subdev_init function overwrites the I2C client-data pointer with the subdevice pointer, so max96712_remove passes the wrong object to v4l2_async_unregister_subdev. Reaching the flaw requires privileged module removal on a system using this driver; the invalid pointer dereference produces a kernel oops and service interruption.
