From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

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

bus: fsl-mc: don't assume child devices are all fsl-mc devices

Changes in VFIO caused a pseudo-device to be created as child of
fsl-mc devices causing a crash [1] when trying to bind a fsl-mc
device to VFIO. Fix this by checking the device type when enumerating
fsl-mc child devices.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
