Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ARM architecture. When Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) is not actively used, or when a breakpoint is issued in userspace, the hw_breakpoint_cfi_handler() does not properly handle breakpoint type 0x03 (ARM_ENTRY_CFI_BREAKPOINT). This can lead to an unhandled fault, potentially allowing userspace to utilize a breakpoint type intended for kernel-level CFI, which could result in unexpected system behavior or a denial of service.
