NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-6.18.54-121.166 package and not the kernel-livepatch-6.18.54-121.166 package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

software node: Fix software_node_get_reference_args() with index -1

The bounds check for the index passed to software_node_get_reference_args() was failing when passed UINT_MAX, this in turn would lead to an out of bound access in the property array. Fix the bound check to also cover the UINT_MAX case.
