Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel related to the container_of operation in the intel_pmu_hw_config function has been fixed. The issue could lead to out-of-bounds memory reads when software events are present in a group of events.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability may lead to unauthorized memory access, posing a risk to system and data integrity. It could also result in system crashes or unpredictable application behavior.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, monitor systems for unauthorized memory-related activities.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/x86: Fix potential bad container_of in intel_pmu_hw_config Auto counter reload may have a group of events with software events present within it. The software event PMU isn't the x86_hybrid_pmu and a container_of operation in intel_pmu_set_acr_caused_constr (via the hybrid helper) could cause out of bound memory reads. Avoid this by guarding the call to intel_pmu_set_acr_caused_constr with an is_x86_event check.
