GHSA-7457-JP56-WXRQ
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-21 15:31 – Updated: 2025-09-25 18:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/64s: fix program check interrupt emergency stack path
Emergency stack path was jumping into a 3: label inside the __GEN_COMMON_BODY macro for the normal path after it had finished, rather than jumping over it. By a small miracle this is the correct place to build up a new interrupt frame with the existing stack pointer, so things basically worked okay with an added weird looking 700 trap frame on top (which had the wrong ->nip so it didn't decode bug messages either).
Fix this by avoiding using numeric labels when jumping over non-trivial macros.
