Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: errata: Add missing sentinels to Spectre-BHB MIDR arrays
Commit a5951389e58d ("arm64: errata: Add newer ARM cores to the
spectre_bhb_loop_affected() lists") added some additional CPUs to the
Spectre-BHB workaround, including some new arrays for designs that
require new 'k' values for the workaround to be effective.
Unfortunately, the new arrays omitted the sentinel entry and so
is_midr_in_range_list() will walk off the end when it doesn't find a
match. With UBSAN enabled, this leads to a crash during boot when
is_midr_in_range_list() is inlined (which was more common prior to
c8c2647e69be ("arm64: Make _midr_in_range_list() an exported
function")):
