Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 22
Component/s: Kernel
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: efivarfs: Rate limit statfs() handler Ravi reports that statfs() may be called by unprivileged users on the efivarfs mount point, which may result in a flood of calls to the QueryVariableInfo() runtime service. These calls are disproportionately costly on x86 systems where the variable store is backed by SMM, as each SMM entry requires a rendez-vous of all the CPUs. So rate limit the calls to QueryVariableInfo() at twice per second, and return the most recently obtained value for calls that are elided.
