Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: intel: punit_ipc: fix memory corruption This passes the address of the pointer "&punit_ipcdev" when the intent was to pass the pointer itself "punit_ipcdev" (without the ampersand). This means that the: complete(&ipcdev->cmd_complete); in intel_punit_ioc() will write to a wrong memory address corrupting it.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in the Linux kernel involves a coding error where the address of a pointer (&punit_ipcdev) was passed instead of the pointer itself (punit_ipcdev). This caused the function complete(&ipcdev->cmd_complete) in intel_punit_ioc() to write to an incorrect memory address, leading to memory corruption.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can cause memory corruption in the Linux kernel, which may lead to system instability, crashes, or potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges if exploited.
