CVE-2024-44949 is fixed in 15 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2024-44949, released September 4, 2024. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-44949 - Priority: High - CVSS: 7.8 (high) - EPSS: 0.0023 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Sep 4, 2024 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: parisc: fix a possible DMA corruption ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN was defined as 16 - this is too small - it may be possible that two unrelated 16-byte allocations share a cache line. If one of these allocations is written using DMA and the other is written using cached write, the value that was written with DMA may be corrupted. This commit changes ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to be 128 on PA20 and 32 on PA1.1 - that's the largest possible cache line size. As different parisc microarchitectures have different cache line size, we define arch_slab_minalign(), cache_line_size() and dma_get_cache_alignment() so that the kernel may tune slab cache parameters dynamically, based on the detected cache line size. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | bpftool ol 8 | 0:5.15.0-305.176.4.el9uek |
