In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: Fix kernel panic in GET_INSTANCE_ID macro
The GET_INSTANCE_ID macro that caused a kernel panic when accessing sysfs attributes:
-
Off-by-one error: The loop condition used '<=' instead of '<', causing access beyond array bounds. Since array indices are 0-based and go from 0 to instances_count-1, the loop should use '<'.
-
Missing NULL check: The code dereferenced attr_name_kobj->name without checking if attr_name_kobj was NULL, causing a null pointer dereference in min_length_show() and other attribute show functions.
The panic occurred when fwupd tried to read BIOS configuration attributes:
Oops: general protection fault [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007] RIP: 0010:min_length_show+0xcf/0x1d0 [hp_bioscfg]
Add a NULL check for attr_name_kobj before dereferencing and corrects the loop boundary to match the patter
