Linux Kernel AM65 CPSW PM Runtime Leakage Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AM65 CPSW Ethernet driver has been addressed. The issue involved a power management runtime leakage in the 'am65_cpsw_nuss_ndo_slave_open()' function. The vulnerability could lead to improper handling of power management, potentially causing performance issues or increased power consumption.

Impact

The vulnerability could result in a power management runtime leakage, causing unnecessary power consumption and potentially leading to performance degradation.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by using the AM65 CPSW Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel. When the 'am65_cpsw_nuss_ndo_slave_open()' function is called, the driver fails to properly manage power runtime in certain error conditions, leading to a leakage.

Remediation

Users can apply the latest patches available in the Linux kernel stable tree to address this vulnerability.
