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.
