| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.50
Description
The issue is related to the remoteproc: imx rproc component in the Linux kernel. In the
imx rproc addr init() function, nph = of count phandle with args() counts the number of phandles, but these phandles may be empty. As a result, of parse phandle() in the parsing loop may return NULL, which is later dereferenced. The issue is resolved by adding a NULL-return check. The Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) discovered this issue using SVACE.Recommendations
To resolve the issue, update to Linux kernel version 6.6.50 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider adding a NULL-return check in the
imx rproc addr init() function to prevent dereferencing a potential NULL value.Exploit
