CVE-2023-53043: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arm64: dts: qcom: sc7280: Mark PCIe controller as c
Summary
CVE-2023-53043 is a bug in the Linux kernel where a PCIe controller (a hardware component that manages data transfer between a computer and devices connected via PCIe, a high-speed connection standard) was not marked as cache coherent (meaning the system wasn't told that data in the fast-access memory matches data in main memory). This could cause data corruption when the kernel tried to manage memory operations. The fix marks the PCIe node with the dma-coherent flag to tell the system that PCIe devices maintain cache coherency.
Solution / Mitigation
Mark the PCIe node as dma-coherent in the device tree configuration. Patches are available at: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/267b899375bf38944d915c9654d6eb434edad0ce, https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8a63441e83724fee1ef3fd37b237d40d90780766, and https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e43bba938e2c9104bb4f8bc417ac4d7bb29755e1
