CVE-2026-72215CVE-2026-72215
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
MIPS: DEC: Ensure 32-bit stack location for o32 prom_printf()
In 64-bit configurations calling any firmware entry points from a kernel
thread other than the initial one will result in a situation where the
stack has been placed in the XKPHYS 64-bit memory segment.
Consequently the stack pointer is no longer a 32-bit value and when the
32-bit firmware code called uses 32-bit ALU operations to manipulate the
stack pointer, the calculated result is incorrect (in fact in the 64-bit
MIPS ISA almost all 32-bit ALU operations will produce an unpredictable
result when executed on 64-bit data) and control goes astray.
This may happen when no final console driver has been enabled in the
configuration and consequently the initial console continues being used
late into bootstrap, or with an upcoming change that will switch the zs
driver to use a platform device, which in turn will make the console
handover happen only after ot
Scoring
