In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arm64:
Restrict CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to GNU as or LLVM IAS 15.x or newer Prior to LLVM
15.0.0, LLVM’s integrated assembler would incorrectly byte-swap NOP when
compiling for big-endian, and the resulting series of bytes happened to
match the encoding of FNMADD S21, S30, S0, S0. This went unnoticed until
commit: 34f66c4c4d5518c1 (“arm64: Use a positive cpucap for FP/SIMD”) Prior
to that commit, the kernel would always enable the use of FPSIMD early in
boot when __cpu_setup() initialized CPACR_EL1, and so usage of FNMADD
within the kernel was not detected, but could result in the corruption of
user or kernel FPSIMD state. After that commit, the instructions happen to
trap during boot prior to FPSIMD being detected and enabled, e.g. |
