Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds write in mpfs_ccc_register_outputs() in the Microchip PolarFire SoC clock driver when registering clock outputs. A local user can trigger registration of affected outputs to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs during registration of the last two outputs because sparse clock IDs are packed into the hws array.
