Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommu/arm-smmu: Don't unregister on shutdown

Michael Walle says he noticed the following stack trace while performing
a shutdown with "reboot -f". He suggests he got "lucky" and just hit the
correct spot for the reboot while there was a packet transmission in
flight.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops: Fatal exception in interrupt

This appears to be reproducible when the board has a fixed IP address,
is ping flooded from another host, and "reboot -f" is used.

The following is one more manifestation of the issue:

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
