AI-suggested

A fix is available and has been applied in multiple Linux kernel commits. Users should update to a Linux kernel version that includes these fixes. Since this is a kernel-level vulnerability, applying the official patches or upgrading the kernel is the recommended remediation.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's SCPI clock driver allows an out-of-range DVFS index to be used due to missing upper bound checks. This can cause out-of-bounds access leading to incorrect clock rates being reported to consumers. The issue has been fixed by adding proper upper bound validation to reject invalid indexes.
