Security Advisory
CVE-2023-52606
5.5
MEDIUM
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/lib: Validate size for vector operations
Some of the fp/vmx code in sstep.c assume a certain maximum size for the
instructions being emulated. The size of those operations however is
determined separately in analyse_instr().
Add a check to validate the assumption on the maximum size of the
operations, so as to prevent any unintended kernel stack corruption.
