AI risk analysis
- Summary
- This vulnerability involves an array overflow in the acpi_package_ids[] array in the LoongArch virtual machine implementation, potentially leading to system instability or security issues.
- Exploitability
- Exploitation requires specific kernel configuration and a PPTT ACPI table, making it less likely but still feasible for attackers with detailed knowledge of the system.
- Blast radius
- If exploited, the impact could range from system crashes to potential privilege escalation, depending on the system's configuration and the attacker's capabilities.
- Detection
- No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
- Prioritized remediation
- Upgrade to the specific version mentioned in the fix: 'Upgrade to 5.10.100 or later'.

NVD description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: LoongArch: Fix acpi_package_ids[] array overflow With LoongArch virt machine, a typical setting is one core per socket, there will max 256 sockets (packages) on one VM. With PPTT acpi table, array acpi_package_ids[] will be overflowed. Here change the array size of acpi_package_ids[] with the max value of MAX_PACKAGES and KVM_MAX_VCPUS.
