CVE-2024-50206 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: fix memory corruption during fq dma init The loop responsible for allocating up to MTK_FQ_DMA_LENGTH buffers must only touch as many descriptors, otherwise it ends up corrupting unrelated memory. Fix the loop iteration count accordingly.. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
