CVE-2021-47428: kernel: powerpc/64s: fix program check interrupt emergency stack path
Component: kernel
Severity: Low
CWE: CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation)
CVSS v3: 4.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
Public date: 2024-05-21T00:00:00+00:00

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

powerpc/64s: fix program check interrupt emergency stack path

Emergency stack path was jumping into a 3: label inside the
__GEN_COMMON_BODY macro for the normal path after it had finished,
rather than jumping over it. By a small miracle this is the correct
place to build up a new interrupt frame with the existing stack
pointer, so things basically worked okay with an added weird looking
700 trap frame on top (which had the wrong ->nip so it didn't decode
bug messages either).

Fix this by avoiding using numeric labels when jumping over non-trivial
macros.
