Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPICA: Refuse to evaluate a method if arguments are missing As reported in [1], a platform firmware update that increased the number of method parameters and forgot to update a least one of its callers, caused ACPICA to crash due to use-after-free. Since this a result of a clear AML issue that arguably cannot be fixed up by the interpreter (it cannot produce missing data out of thin air), address it by making ACPICA refuse to evaluate a method if the caller attempts to pass fewer arguments than expected to it.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (< 5.4.296) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.240) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.187) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.144) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.97) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.37) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.15.6) • linux linux kernel 6.16 • debian debian linux 11.0
