AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied promptly. Users should update their Linux kernel packages to the fixed versions as listed in the Ubuntu advisories (e.g., linux-image-7.0.0-1009-aws 7.0.0-1009.9 and others). After updating, a system reboot is required to apply the changes. Due to an ABI change, recompilation and reinstallation of all third-party kernel modules are necessary. Follow vendor instructions carefully to ensure full remediation.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware: arm_ffa: Bound PARTITION_INFO_GET_REGS copies The register-based PARTITION_INFO_GET path trusted the firmware-provided indices when copying partition descriptors into the caller buffer. Reject inconsistent counts or index progressions so the copy loop cannot write past the allocated array. (fixed cur_idx when exactly one descriptor in the first fragment)
