Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-12-24 12:01:51 UTC 
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 mem_ctrl_idx
left-shifted 16 bits and OR-ed with DIMM index.  With mem_ctrl_idx defined as
32-bits wide the left-shift operation truncates the upper 16 bits of
information during the calculation of the SMC argument.

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