MediumCVSS 5.5
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability was resolved in perf/dwc_pcie: wrongly using struct device pci_dev as platform_data during platform_device_register caused a kmemdup copy of pci_dev, leading to list corruption as its mutex content remains the same as the original.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to system instability, data corruption, or kernel crashes, especially on systems with relevant PCIe hardware.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix for this issue.
