Linux
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mips: bmips: BCM6358: disable RAC flush for TP1 RAC flush causes kernel panics on BCM6358 with EHCI/OHCI when booting from TP1: [ 3.881739] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-platform [ 3.895011] Reserved instruction in kernel code[#1]: [ 3.900113] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: init Not tainted 5.10.16 #0 [ 3.905829] $ 0 : 00000000 10008700 00000000 77d94060 [ 3.911238] $ 4 : 7fd1f088 00000000 81431cac 81431ca0 [ 3.916641] $ 8 : 00000000 ffffefff 8075cd34 00000000 [ 3.922043] $12 : 806f8d40 f3e812b7 00000000 000d9...
A verified fixed-version field is not available. Use the linked NVD and supporting references, then confirm the vendor-supported path before changing production systems.
Identify the affected asset
Confirm whether Linux is installed, record the deployed version and installation path, and identify exposed interfaces.
- Record the product name, package or appliance identifier, and installed version.
- Identify internet-facing, administrative, API, and internal access paths.
- Preserve the pre-change configuration and relevant service logs.
Validate the affected-version match
Compare the deployed version with the affected range: >= d59098a0e9cb3c7767090e935c909b37a30629ab < d65de5ee8b72868fbbbd39ca73017d0e526fa13a, >= d59098a0e9cb3c7767090e935c909b37a30629ab < 47a449ec09b4479b89dcc6b27ec3829fc82ffafb, >= d59098a0e9cb3c7767090e935c909b37a30629ab < 65b723644294f1d79770704162c0e8d1f700b6f1, >= d59098a0e9cb3c7767090e935c909b37a30629ab < 2cdbcff99f15db86a10672fb220379a1ae46ccae, >= d59098a0e9cb3c7767090e935c909b37a30629ab < 288c96aa5b5526cd4a946e84ef85e165857693b5, >= d59098a0e9cb3c7767090e935c909b37a30629ab < ab327f8acdf8d06601fbf058859a539a9422afff, >= 4.19. Treat incomplete inventory results as unresolved.
Prioritize with independent signals
The CVSS severity warrants an early asset and exposure review. Combine this signal with asset criticality, exposure, compensating controls, and business impact.
Apply supported remediation
Follow the vendor advisory or supported update path. Current fixed-version status: No verified fixed-version field is available yet. Preserve configuration and rollback material before change.
Verify the result
Confirm the resulting version, service health, authentication and access paths, monitoring coverage, and relevant security logs.
- Confirm the expected version and package state.
- Run a functional health check for critical service paths.
- Review authentication, error, application, and security monitoring logs.
- Reassess exposure if the supported fix cannot be applied.
Operational boundary
This page does not replace the vendor advisory, support contract, change-management process, or recovery plan. Do not infer that an asset is unaffected from an incomplete inventory query or a missing fixed-version field.
