CVE-2024-53072 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel's amd_pmc driver. When the amd_pmc module is enabled with the parameter "enable_stb=1," attempts to access the System Transaction Buffer (STB) may result in failure, causing the kernel to return an invalid memory address during an ioremap operation. This can result in a warning message and potential confusion for users. To mitigate this issue, the vulnerability has been resolved by properly handling such invalid addresses and displaying an error message instead.
