In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/pseries: Rework lppaca_shared_proc() to avoid DEBUG_PREEMPT
lppaca_shared_proc() takes a pointer to the lppaca which is typically
accessed through get_lppaca(). With DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled, this leads
to checking if preemption is enabled, for example:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: grep/10693
caller is lparcfg_data+0x408/0x19a0
CPU: 4 PID: 10693 Comm: grep Not tainted 6.5.0-rc3 #2
Call Trace:
dump_stack_lvl+0x154/0x200 (unreliable)
check_preemption_disabled+0x214/0x220
lparcfg_data+0x408/0x19a0
...
This isn't actually a problem however, as it does not matter which
lppaca is accessed, the shared proc state will be the same.
vcpudispatch_stats_procfs_init() already works around this by disabling
preemption, but the lparcfg code does not, erroring any time
/proc/powerpc/lparcfg is accessed with DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled.
Instead of disabling preemption on the caller side, rework
lppaca_shared_proc() to not take a pointer and instead directly access
the lppaca, bypassing any potential preemption checks.
[mpe: Rework to avoid needing a definition in paca.h and lppaca.h]

BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
The score's inputs: In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
