Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm_mpam: guard MBWU state before adding it to garbage
__destroy_component_cfg() adds each RIS mbwu_state object to the MPAM
garbage list when destroying component configuration.
However, mbwu_state is allocated per RIS and only for RISes with MBWU
monitors. A component can therefore have comp->cfg allocated while some
RISes still have ris->mbwu_state set to NULL.
Passing a NULL mbwu_state to add_to_garbage() dereferences the NULL
pointer inside the macro.
Skip RISes that do not have an mbwu_state object before adding them to
the garbage list.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's arm_mpam component. When destroying component configuration, the __destroy_component_cfg() function attempts to add mbwu_state objects to a garbage list. However, some Root Interrupt Systems (RISes) may have a NULL mbwu_state object, leading to a null pointer dereference when passed to add_to_garbage(). This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS).
Отчет
This issue affects ARM MPAM (Memory Partitioning and Monitoring) on supported platforms. __destroy_component_cfg() may add NULL mbwu_state pointers to the garbage list for RISes without MBWU monitors. Systems without MPAM hardware are not affected.
