CVE-2024-53081

Summary

CVE-2024-53081 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel's media driver ar0521. The issue stems from PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) value checks that compare 64-bit integers with 32-bit ones. This comparison may result in an underflow due to the size mismatch. The vulnerability has been mitigated by ensuring that both sides of the expression are treated as u64 (unsigned 64-bit) types to prevent potential data corruption or unintended behavior.
