AI-suggested

A fix is available in Linux kernel versions 5.15.0-1072.78 and later builds as listed in the advisory. Users and administrators should upgrade to these fixed kernel versions to remediate the vulnerability. No additional mitigation is required beyond applying the official patch.

Description

CVE-2024-47665 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's i3c subsystem, specifically in the mipi-i3c-hci driver. The issue involves the use of BUG_ON() during IBI DMA setup when a certain condition related to dma_get_cache_alignment exceeds a defined threshold. This has been corrected to return a graceful error (-EINVAL) instead of triggering a kernel bug. The vulnerability affects various Linux kernel versions prior to fixed releases in the 5.15 series and some specific older versions. The flaw can cause a denial of service by crashing the kernel but does not impact confidentiality or integrity.
