HighCVSS 7.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk6th percentile - higher than 6% of all known CVEs
Summary
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved related to mtk_gate, where these structs were used not only for initialization but also at runtime. The __initconst annotations have been dropped from gates.
Risk Assessment
The lack of appropriate annotations may lead to unexpected system behavior at runtime, potentially affecting the stability and security of applications using these structs.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to the latest version to eliminate this vulnerability and ensure proper system operation.
Original NVD description (English source)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: clk: mediatek: Drop __initconst from gates Since commit 8ceff24a754a ("clk: mediatek: clk-gate: Refactor mtk_clk_register_gate to use mtk_gate struct") the mtk_gate structs are no longer just used for initialization/registration, but also at runtime. So drop __initconst annotations.
