GHSA-2GP8-XHXH-8H9C
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-04-18 15:31 – Updated: 2025-11-03 21:33In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
remoteproc: core: Clear table_sz when rproc_shutdown
There is case as below could trigger kernel dump: Use U-Boot to start remote processor(rproc) with resource table published to a fixed address by rproc. After Kernel boots up, stop the rproc, load a new firmware which doesn't have resource table ,and start rproc.
When starting rproc with a firmware not have resource table,
memcpy(loaded_table, rproc->cached_table, rproc->table_sz) will
trigger dump, because rproc->cache_table is set to NULL during the last
stop operation, but rproc->table_sz is still valid.
This issue is found on i.MX8MP and i.MX9.
