NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libperf package and not the libperf package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

iommu/amd: Add a length limitation for the ivrs_acpihid command-line parameter

The 'acpiid' buffer in the parse_ivrs_acpihid function may overflow, because the string specifier in the format string sscanf() has no width limitation.

Found by InfoTeCS on behalf of Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
