Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to trigger a shift-out-of-bounds condition.

The vulnerability exists due to an incorrect bitwise shift calculation in the DesignWare I3C master DAA handler when ENTDAA assigns no devices on an empty I3C bus. A local user can initiate dynamic address assignment on an empty I3C bus to trigger a shift-out-of-bounds condition.
