Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-01-08 18:30 – Updated: 2025-11-03 21:32In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/prom_init: Fixup missing powermac #size-cells
On some powermacs escc nodes are missing #size-cells properties,
which is deprecated and now triggers a warning at boot since commit
045b14ca5c36 ("of: WARN on deprecated #address-cells/#size-cells
handling").
For example:
Missing '#size-cells' in /pci@f2000000/mac-io@c/escc@13000 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at drivers/of/base.c:133 of_bus_n_size_cells+0x98/0x108 Hardware name: PowerMac3,1 7400 0xc0209 PowerMac ... Call Trace: of_bus_n_size_cells+0x98/0x108 (unreliable) of_bus_default_count_cells+0x40/0x60 __of_get_address+0xc8/0x21c __of_address_to_resource+0x5c/0x228 pmz_init_port+0x5c/0x2ec pmz_probe.isra.0+0x144/0x1e4 pmz_console_init+0x10/0x48 console_init+0xcc/0x138 start_kernel+0x5c4/0x694
As powermacs boot via prom_init it's possible to add the missing
properties to the device tree during boot, avoiding the warning. Note
that escc-legacy nodes are also missing #size-cells properties, but
they are skipped by the macio driver, so leave them alone.
