Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2024-26787)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2024-26787). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: mmci: stm32: fix DMA API overlapping mappings warning
Turning on CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG_SG results in the following warning:
DMA-API: mmci-pl18x 48220000.mmc: cacheline tracking EEXIST,
overlapping mappings aren't supported
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 51 at kernel/dma/debug.c:568

DMA API debug brings to light leaking dma-mappings as dma_map_sg and
dma_unmap_sg are not correctly balanced.
If an error occurs in mmci_cmd_irq function, only mmci_dma_error
function is called and as this API is not managed on stm32 variant,
dma_unmap_sg is never called in this error path.
