Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The Linux kernel contains a flaw within the powercap and intel rapl components. A shift-out-of-bounds issue occurs when a value is less than the time unit, leading to an excessively large shift exponent during the
ilog2() function call. This can trigger an error when calculating the time window core in the rapl compute time window core() function, and subsequently during rapl write data raw() and set time window() operations.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
