AI-suggested
A patch is available that marks swsusp_arch_resume() as __nocfi to disable the problematic CFI check, resolving the data abort issue. Users should update to the fixed Linux kernel versions provided by their distribution or vendor. For example, Ubuntu has released fixed packages for NVIDIA Tegra systems in the 5.15 kernel series. After updating, a system reboot is required. No additional mitigation is necessary as the issue is resolved by the official fix.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ARM64 architecture related to the swsusp_arch_resume() function has been resolved. The issue involves a data abort (DABT) triggered during resume from hibernation on Android-based systems due to a mismatch in Control Flow Integrity (CFI) checks. The fix disables the CFI check in swsusp_arch_resume() by marking it as __nocfi. This vulnerability affects specific Linux kernel versions and has been addressed in updated kernel packages.
