CVE-2024-26847 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: powerpc/rtas: use correct function name for resetting TCE tables The PAPR spec spells the function name as "ibm,reset-pe-dma-windows" but in practice firmware uses the singular form: "ibm,reset-pe-dma-window" in the device tree. Since we have the wrong spelling in the RTAS function table, reverse lookups (token -> name) fail and warn: unexpected failed lookup for token 86 WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 545 at arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c:659 __do_enter_rtas_trace+0x2a4/0x2b4 CPU: 1 PID: 545 Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 6.8.0-rc4 #30 Hardware name: IBM,9105-22A POWER10 (raw) 0x800200 0xf000006 of:IBM,FW1060.00 (NL1060_028) hv:phyp pSeries NIP [c0000000000417f0] __do_enter_rtas_trace+0x2a4/0x2b4 LR [c0000000000417ec] __do_enter_rtas_trace+0x2a0/0x2b4 Call Trace: __do_enter_rtas_trace+0x2a0/0x2b4 (unreliable) rtas_call+0x1f8/0x3e0 enable_ddw.constprop.0+0x4d0/0xc84 dma_iommu_dma_supported+0xe8/0x24c dma_set_mask+0x5c/0xd8 mlx5_pci_init.constprop.0+0xf0/0x46c [mlx5_core] probe_one+0xfc/0x32c [mlx5_core] local_pci_probe+0x68/0x12c pci_call_probe+0x68/0x1ec pci_device_probe+0xbc/0x1a8 really_probe+0x104/0x570 __driver_probe_devi…

Matched remediation archetype

General vulnerability remediation

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Confirm the affected component, deployment paths, reachable interfaces, and enabled features from inventories and configuration, without probing production destructively.
  • Compare the advisory's affected conditions with the repository lockfiles, build manifests, artifacts, and runtime inventory.
  • Identify data sensitivity, trust boundaries, and privilege level for every confirmed affected deployment.

Remediate safely

  • Apply a vendor-supported fix or remove the affected component or feature; record the selected change and its source in the repository.
  • Update direct and transitive dependency locks, generated artifacts, deployment manifests, and asset inventories together.
  • Add a regression test for the documented unsafe condition using inert inputs and preserve rollback instructions.
