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

dmaengine: idxd: Fix oops during rmmod on single-CPU platforms

During the removal of the idxd driver, registered offline callback is
invoked as part of the clean up process. However, on systems with only
one CPU online, no valid target is available to migrate the
perf context, resulting in a kernel oops:

Fix the issue by preventing the migration of the perf context to an
invalid target.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: dmaengine: idxd: soluciona errores durante rmmod en plataformas de CPU única Durante la eliminación del controlador idxd, se invoca la devolución de llamada sin conexión registrada como parte del proceso de limpieza. Sin embargo, en sistemas con una sola CPU en línea, no hay ningún destino válido disponible para migrar el contexto de rendimiento, lo que genera un error del kernel: ERROR: no se puede manejar el error de página para la dirección: 000000000002a2b8 #PF: acceso de escritura del supervisor en modo kernel #PF: error_code(0x0002) - página no presente PGD 1470e1067 P4D 0 Ups: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI CPU: 0 PID: 20 Comm: cpuhp/0 No contaminado 6.8.0-rc6-dsa+ #57 Nombre de hardware: Intel Corporation AvenueCity/AvenueCity, BIOS BHSDCRB1.86B.2492.D03.2307181620 18/07/2023 RIP: 0010:mutex_lock+0x2e/0x50 ...

This is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Data Movement Accelerator (DMA) engine, specifically affecting the Intel Data Streaming Accelerator (IDXD) driver. The issue arises during the removal (rmmod) of the idxd driver on systems with only one active CPU. In such scenarios, the driver's cleanup process attempts to migrate performance monitoring unit (PMU) contexts to another CPU. However, with no other CPUs available, this leads to a kernel oops—a serious error causing the system to crash.
