CVE-2024-46743: of/irq: Prevent device address out-of-bounds read in interrupt map walk
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of/irq: Prevent device address out-of-bounds read in interrupt map walk
When ofirqparseraw() is invoked with a device address smaller than the interrupt parent node (from #address-cells property), KASAN detects the following out-of-bounds read when populating the initial match table (dyndbg="func ofirqparse +p"):
