A patch is available and has been released in multiple fixed Linux kernel versions including 4.4.0-1144.150, 4.15.0-1189.204~14.04.1, and others. Users and administrators should upgrade affected linux-aws kernel versions to these fixed releases or later to remediate the vulnerability. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Qualcomm mmcc-apq8084 clock driver was fixed by adding a missing terminating empty element to frequency table arrays. Without this termination, functions traversing these arrays could access out-of-bounds memory, potentially leading to serious impacts. The issue affects certain linux-aws kernel versions prior to specific fixed releases. A patch is available and has been released in multiple kernel versions.
