Oracle Linux: (CVE-2021-47153) ELSA-2024-3618: kernel update

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

i2c: i801: Don't generate an interrupt on bus reset

Now that the i2c-i801 driver supports interrupts, setting the KILL bit

in a attempt to recover from a timed out transaction triggers an

interrupt. Unfortunately, the interrupt handler (i801_isr) is not

prepared for this situation and will try to process the interrupt as

if it was signaling the end of a successful transaction. In the case

of a block transaction, this can result in an out-of-range memory

access.

This condition was reproduced several times by syzbot:

So disable interrupts while trying to reset the bus. Interrupts will

be enabled again for the following transaction.
