Added Description

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

thunderbolt: property: Cap recursion depth in __tb_property_parse_dir()

A DIRECTORY entry's value field is used as the dir_offset for a
recursive call into __tb_property_parse_dir() with no depth counter.
A crafted peer that chains DIRECTORY entries into a back-reference
loop drives the parser until the kernel stack is exhausted and the
guard page fires.  Any untrusted XDomain peer (cable, dock, in-line
inspector, adjacent host) that reaches the PROPERTIES_REQUEST
control-plane exchange can trigger this without authentication.

Thread a depth counter through tb_property_parse() and
__tb_property_parse_dir(), and reject blocks that exceed
TB_PROPERTY_MAX_DEPTH = 8.  That is comfortably larger than any
observed legitimate XDomain layout.

Operators who do not need XDomain host-to-host discovery can disable
the path entirely with thunderbolt.xdomain=0 on the kernel command
line.
