Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A flaw exists in the Linux kernel's pinctrl subsystem, specifically within the freescale driver. The issue involves a memory out-of-bounds condition that occurs when the number of configurations (
num configs) is 1. When a configuration is passed in by pad wakeup, the code attempts to fetch a configuration beyond the allocated memory, leading to a memory corruption issue detected by KASAN. The fix modifies the code to only fetch configurations when num configs is greater than 1.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
