A fix is available and included in Linux kernel versions 5.4.0-1128.138~18.04.1, 5.4.0-1133.140~18.04.1, 5.4.0-1132.141~18.04.1, 5.4.0-189.209~18.04.1, 5.4.0-1075.80~18.04.1, 5.4.0-1127.136~18.04.1, 5.4.0-1112.124~18.04.1, 5.4.0-189.209, 5.4.0-1128.138, and 5.15.0-1065.71~20.04.1. Users should upgrade to these or later kernel versions to remediate the vulnerability.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Qualcomm clock driver (gcc-ipq8074) was fixed by ensuring frequency table arrays are properly terminated with an empty element. Without this termination, functions traversing these arrays could access out-of-bound memory. This flaw has been addressed in patched kernel versions.
