Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
via_wdt: fix critical boot hang due to unnamed resource allocation<br />
<br />
The VIA watchdog driver uses allocate_resource() to reserve a MMIO<br />
region for the watchdog control register. However, the allocated<br />
resource was not given a name, which causes the kernel resource tree<br />
to contain an entry marked as "" under /proc/iomem on x86<br />
platforms.<br />
<br />
During boot, this unnamed resource can lead to a critical hang because<br />
subsequent resource lookups and conflict checks fail to handle the<br />
invalid entry properly.
