CVE-2024-43868 addresses an alignment issue in the riscv/purgatory code of the Linux kernel. The vulnerability arises because the riscv_kernel_entry must be word-aligned when the kernel handles alignment exceptions. Without proper alignment, triggering an exception can cause a system crash. This issue has been tested on a JH7110 SoC with oreboot and its SBI delegating unaligned access exceptions to the kernel.
