CWE ID 476

Summary

CVE-2024-35984 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel's i2c subsystem. This issue was reported by Baruch and involved a NULL function pointer dereference. The problem occurs during the use of the designware controller as a target, which can lead to an OOPS (Out of Memory) error. In the i2c transfer process, the assumption that one transfer function is always available is broken in target-only modes. The vulnerability has been resolved by implementing a check for the pointer in __i2c_transfer, and the core-smbus simplification has been kept to prevent potential theoretical regressions.
