Summary
CVE-2024-53161 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.15.176.3-1
Details

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

EDAC/bluefield: Fix potential integer overflow

The 64-bit argument for the "get DIMM info" SMC call consists of memctrlidx left-shifted 16 bits and OR-ed with DIMM index. With memctrlidx defined as 32-bits wide the left-shift operation truncates the upper 16 bits of information during the calculation of the SMC argument.

The memctrlidx stack variable must be defined as 64-bits wide to prevent any potential integer overflow, i.e. loss of data from upper 16 bits.
