CVE-2023-52763: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i3c: master: mipi-i3c-hci: Fix a kernel panic for accessing DAT_data. The `i3c_master_bus_init` function may attach the I2C devices before the I3C bus initialization. In this flow, the DAT `alloc_entry`` will be used before the DAT `init`. Additionally, if the `i3c_master_bus_init` fails, the DAT `cleanup` will execute before the device is detached, which will execue DAT `free_entry` function. The above scenario can cause the driver to use DAT_data when it is NULL.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 5.0, before 5.15.140 (fixed in 5.15.140); from 5.16, before 6.1.64 (fixed in 6.1.64); from 6.2, before 6.5.13 (fixed in 6.5.13); from 6.6, before 6.6.3 (fixed in 6.6.3)
