Summary

A memory corruption bug was found in the Intel PUNIT IPC driver in the Linux kernel. Instead of passing the pointer to the punit_ipcdev structure, the address of the pointer was passed, causing writes to an incorrect memory address.

Risk Assessment

Memory corruption can lead to system instability, crashes, or potential exploitation for privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that fixes the pointer passing in intel_punit_ioc().

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: intel: punit_ipc: fix memory corruption This passes the address of the pointer "&punit_ipcdev" when the intent was to pass the pointer itself "punit_ipcdev" (without the ampersand). This means that the: complete(&ipcdev->cmd_complete); in intel_punit_ioc() will write to a wrong memory address corrupting it.
