Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: dvb-frontends: avoid stack overflow warnings with clang

A previous patch worked around a KASAN issue in stv0367, now a similar

problem showed up with clang:

drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv0367.c:1222:12: error: stack frame size (3624) exceeds limit (2048) in 'stv0367ter_set_frontend' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]

1214 | static int stv0367ter_set_frontend(struct dvb_frontend *fe)

Rework the stv0367_writereg() function to be simpler and mark both

register access functions as noinline_for_stack so the temporary

i2c_msg structures do not get duplicated on the stack when KASAN_STACK

is enabled.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
