AI-suggested
An official patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions. The Ubuntu security advisory USN-8575-1 provides updated kernel packages that address this vulnerability. Users should update to fixed kernel versions to remediate the issue. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drm/msm snapshotting code was fixed to address incorrect handling of unaligned data regions. The issue involved improper alignment assumptions that caused incorrect dumping of certain data segments, specifically affecting DSI data regions. The fix removes length alignment and corrects register printing, also addressing a memory overallocation issue. This vulnerability affects multiple Linux kernel versions and has a CVSS score of 7.7, indicating a medium severity with high confidentiality impact and high availability impact. The vulnerability has been patched in updated Linux kernel releases.
