CVE-2023-52899

Add exception protection processing for vd in axi_chan_handle_err function

Published Aug 21, 2024 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Add exception protection processing for vd in axi_chan_handle_err function

Since there is no protection for vd, a kernel panic will be
triggered here in exceptional cases.

You can refer to the processing of axi_chan_block_xfer_complete function

The triggered kernel panic is as follows:
