CVE-2023-53542 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ARM: dts: exynos: Use Exynos5420 compatible for the MIPI video phy For some reason, the driver adding support for Exynos5420 MIPI phy back in 2016 wasn't used on Exynos5420, which caused a kernel panic. Add the proper compatible for it.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's device tree for the Exynos5420 platform has been identified, where the MIPI video PHY driver compatibility was not properly set. This oversight, which dates back to 2016, led to a kernel panic when the driver was needed but not available. The issue has been resolved by correctly specifying the Exynos5420 compatibility in the device tree.
Users can update to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been addressed. Instructions for downloading the patched version are available on the Linux kernel official website.
