Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mailbox: mchp-ipc-sbi: fix out-of-bounds access in mchp_ipc_get_cluster_aggr_irq()

The cluster_cfg array is dynamically allocated to hold per-CPU
configuration structures, with its size based on the number of online
CPUs. Previously, this array was indexed using hartid, which may be
non-contiguous or exceed the bounds of the array, leading to
out-of-bounds access.
Switch to using cpuid as the index, as it is guaranteed to be within
the valid range provided by for_each_online_cpu().

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
