CVSS v2.0

Medium

VectorAV:L/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description The Linux kernel driver for mailbox communication on ZynqMP-IPI systems had an issue where it incorrectly identified SGI (System Group Interrupt) versus SPI (System Peripheral Interrupt) interrupts. This was due to a flawed check based on IRQ numbers less than 16, which fails when dynamic IRQ allocation is used. During device unbinding, this led to improper cleanup of SGI resources, potentially causing a kernel crash. The issue was addressed by adding an explicit irq type field to the platform data to reliably identify SGI interrupts and ensuring SGI resources are only cleaned up when appropriate.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
