Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: scpi: bound-check DVFS index in scpi_dvfs_recalc_rate
dvfs_get_idx() may return an out-of-range index if the SCP firmware is
buggy or returns a stale value. Only negative indexes were rejected, so a
large index walked past info->opps and could treat garbage as a clock rate
(KASAN OOB / wrong frequency to consumers). The missing upper bound dates
back to the original SCPI clock driver.
Treat indexes >= opp count as invalid and return 0, same as idx < 0.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SCPI (System Control and Power Interface) clock driver. When recalculating clock rates, the driver fails to validate the upper bound of Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) indices returned by system firmware. This issue allows an out-of-range index to trigger an out-of-bounds memory read, potentially causing a Denial of Service (DoS) through a kernel crash or system instability from corrupted clock frequency values.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as having a Low impact because triggering the out-of-bounds read relies on malformed or out-of-range values supplied directly by platform firmware, restricting applicability to specific ARM hardware architectures. In typical enterprise deployments, system firmware operates within a trusted boundary, and unprivileged users cannot directly manipulate DVFS index values or invoke this path remotely. Consequently, the real-world attack surface is extremely narrow, posing minimal risk beyond localized denial of service or frequency misconfiguration on platforms running faulty firmware.
