CVE-2023-53550
Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: amd-pstate: fix global sysfs attribute type
In commit 3666062b87ec ("cpufreq: amd-pstate: move to use bus_get_dev_root()") the "amd_pstate" attributes where moved from a dedicated kobject to the cpu root kobject.
While the dedicated kobject expects to contain kobj_attributes the root kobject needs device_attributes.
As the changed arguments are not used by the callbacks it works most of the time. However CFI will detect this issue:
