CVE-2024-35995 Affecting perf package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

ACPI: CPPC: Use access_width over bit_width for system memory accesses

To align with ACPI 6.3+, since bit_width can be any 8-bit value, it cannot be depended on to be always on a clean 8b boundary. This was uncovered on the Cobalt 100 platform.

Instead, use access_width to determine the size and use the offset and width to shift and mask the bits to read/write out. Make sure to add a check for system memory since pcc redefines the access_width to subspace id.

If access_width is not set, then fall back to using bit_width.
