      "value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nAvoid hw_desc array overrun in dw-axi-dmac\n\nI have a use case where nr_buffers = 3 and in which each descriptor is composed by 3\nsegments, resulting in the DMA channel descs_allocated to be 9. Since axi_desc_put()\nhandles the hw_desc considering the descs_allocated, this scenario would result in a\nkernel panic (hw_desc array will be overrun).\n\nTo fix this, the proposal is to add a new member to the axi_dma_desc structure,\nwhere we keep the number of allocated hw_descs (axi_desc_alloc()) and use it in\naxi_desc_put() to handle the hw_desc array correctly.\n\nAdditionally I propose to remove the axi_chan_start_first_queued() call after completing\nthe transfer, since it was identified that unbalance can occur (started descriptors can\nbe interrupted and transfer ignored due to DMA channel not being enabled)."

      "value": "En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: Evitar la saturaci\u00f3n de la matriz hw_desc en dw-axi-dmac. Tengo un caso de uso donde nr_buffers = 3 y en el que cada descriptor est\u00e1 compuesto por 3 segmentos, lo que da como resultado que el canal DMA descs_allocated sea 9. Dado que axi_desc_put() maneja hw_desc considerando descs_allocated, este escenario provocar\u00eda un p\u00e1nico en el kernel (la matriz hw_desc se desbordar\u00e1). Para solucionar este problema, la propuesta es agregar un nuevo miembro a la estructura axi_dma_desc, donde mantenemos el n\u00famero de hw_descs asignados (axi_desc_alloc()) y lo usamos en axi_desc_put() para manejar la matriz hw_desc correctamente. Adem\u00e1s, propongo eliminar la llamada axi_chan_start_first_queued() despu\u00e9s de completar la transferencia, ya que se identific\u00f3 que puede ocurrir un desequilibrio (los descriptores iniciados pueden interrumpirse y la transferencia se ignora debido a que el canal DMA no est\u00e1 habilitado)."
