      <title>CVE-2023-53341 — of/fdt: run soc memory setup when early_init_dt_scan_memory fails</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2023-53341</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of/fdt: run soc memory setup when early_init_dt_scan_memory fails&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If memory has been found early_init_dt_scan_memory now returns 1. If
it hasn&amp;#39;t found any memory it will return 0, allowing other memory
setup mechanisms to carry on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Previously early_init_dt_scan_memory always returned 0 without
distinguishing between any kind of memory setup being done or not. Any
code path after the early_init_dt_scan memory call in the ramips
plat_mem_setup code wouldn&amp;#39;t be executed anymore. Making
early_init_dt_scan_memory the only way to initialize the memory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some boards, including my mt7621 based Cudy X6 board, depend on memory
initialization being done via the soc_info.mem_detect function
pointer. Those wouldn&amp;#39;t be able to obtain memory and panic the kernel
during early bootup with the message &amp;#34;early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch:
Failed to allocate 12416 bytes align=0x40&amp;#34;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
