Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-17 18:20:10 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ACPI: processor: validate MADT IOAPIC entry bounds

The IOAPIC hotplug lookup parses both MADT and _MAT records directly.
The MADT walk previously used a subtable's declared length to advance
the cursor after only locating a generic header.  The _MAT path likewise
passed a generic header to the IOAPIC helper.

Validate that a current record has a complete generic header, that its
declared length is contained in the available record range, and that a
typed IOAPIC record contains the full fixed IOAPIC body before reading
its fields.  Use the same relation for both MADT and _MAT provider
paths.
