CVE-2024-53078

Summary

CVE-2024-53078 is a recently identified vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel. The issue lies in the drm/tegra driver where a NULL vs IS_ERR() check in the probe() function has been incorrectly implemented. The iommu_paging_domain_alloc() function does not return NULL pointers when an error occurs, instead it returns error pointers. This oversight in the check has been addressed in a recent patch to ensure proper error handling in the Linux kernel.
