Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.
在 Linux 内核中，以下漏洞已得到修复： perf: arm_pmuv3：对 hw_id 分支栈字段进行零值初始化 由于 BRBE（Branch Record Buffer Extension）支持 ， 会被传递到用户空间，但 BRBE 驱动从未对其进行设置。根据文档要求，应将其初始化为零值： > 对于原始分支记录已按年龄顺序存储的架构， 应为 0。 此时从 BRBE 中移除 可能风险较高，因为若已有用户正在设置该值并读取它。但将整个结构体进行零值初始化，同样可以防范未来新增字段可能出现的类似问题。

Vulnerability Title
perf: arm_pmuv3: Zero initialize hw_id branch stack field
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf: arm_pmuv3: Zero initialize hw_id branch stack field
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX is supported by BRBE so hw_id is passed to
userspace, but it's never set by the BRBE driver. Zero initialize it as
it should be according to the docs:
* For the architectures whose raw branch records are
* already stored in age order, the hw_idx should be 0.
It's probably too risky to remove PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX from BRBE
now in case anyone is setting it and reading the value, but zero
initializing the whole struct also protects against the same issue with
new fields that are added in the future.
