Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to the Linux kernel's clk component, specifically the sunxi-ng common clock controller. The problem arises from the function
sunxi ccu probe() calling hw to ccu common() with an incorrect assumption about the contents of desc->ccu clks. This leads to invalid pointer de-references. The vulnerability can cause a denial of service.Recommendations
To resolve the issue, remove the faulty call to
hw to ccu common() and add a loop to iterate over ccu clks to set the rate range if required.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
