CVE-2023-54322

EPSS 0.0%
  • Published: 2025-12-30T13:16:21.520

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

arm64: set __exception_irq_entry with __irq_entry as a default

filter_irq_stacks() is supposed to cut entries which are related irq entries
from its call stack.
And in_irqentry_text() which is called by filter_irq_stacks()
uses __irqentry_text_start/end symbol to find irq entries in callstack.

But it doesn’t work correctly as without “CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER”,
arm64 kernel doesn’t include gic_handle_irq which is entry point of arm64 irq
between __irqentry_text_start and __irqentry_text_end as we discussed in below link.

This problem can makes unintentional deep call stack entries especially
in KASAN enabled situation as below.
