Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to a potential integer overflow in the EDAC/bluefield driver of the Linux kernel. This overflow occurs due to the left-shift operation of the
mem ctrl idx variable, which is defined as 32-bits wide, causing the truncation of the upper 16 bits of information during the calculation of the SMC argument for the "get DIMM info" SMC call. The mem ctrl idx stack variable must be defined as 64-bits wide to prevent any potential integer overflow.Recommendations
To resolve the issue, the
mem ctrl idx stack variable must be defined as 64-bits wide to prevent any potential integer overflow.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
