A fix is available and included in Linux kernel version 6.11. Users should upgrade to this version or later to mitigate the vulnerability. No additional mitigation actions are indicated.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel affecting the TH1520 platform's AXI clocks could cause system hangs due to improper timeout handling when gating AXI clocks. The issue was addressed by marking all AXI clock gates as critical to prevent unwanted gating and system instability. This fix is included in Linux kernel version 6.11.
