- Published: 2025-09-17T15:15:40.370
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bus: fsl-mc: don’t assume child devices are all fsl-mc devices
Changes in VFIO caused a pseudo-device to be created as child of
fsl-mc devices causing a crash [1] when trying to bind a fsl-mc
device to VFIO. Fix this by checking the device type when enumerating
fsl-mc child devices.
