Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> ACPICA: Refuse to evaluate a method if arguments are missing<br /> <br /> As reported in [1], a platform firmware update that increased the number<br /> of method parameters and forgot to update a least one of its callers,<br /> caused ACPICA to crash due to use-after-free.<br /> <br /> Since this a result of a clear AML issue that arguably cannot be fixed<br /> up by the interpreter (it cannot produce missing data out of thin air),<br /> address it by making ACPICA refuse to evaluate a method if the caller<br /> attempts to pass fewer arguments than expected to it.
