NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-5_14_21-150500_13_47-rt package and not the kernel-livepatch-5_14_21-150500_13_47-rt package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

powerpc/lib: Validate size for vector operations

Some of the fp/vmx code in sstep.c assume a certain maximum size for the instructions being emulated. The size of those operations however is determined separately in analyse_instr().

Add a check to validate the assumption on the maximum size of the operations, so as to prevent any unintended kernel stack corruption.
