CVE-2025-21933

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arm: pgtable: fix NULL pointer dereference issue When update_mmu_cache_range() is called by update_mmu_cache(), the vmf parameter is NULL, which will cause a NULL pointer dereference issue in adjust_pte(): Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000030 when read Hardware name: Atmel AT91SAM9 PC is at update_mmu_cache_range+0x1e0/0x278 LR is at pte_offset_map_rw_nolock+0x18/0x2c Call trace: update_mmu_cache_range from remove_migration_pte+0x29c/0x2ec remove_migration_pte from rmap_walk_file+0xcc/0x130 rmap_walk_file from remove_migration_ptes+0x90/0xa4 remove_migration_ptes from migrate_pages_batch+0x6d4/0x858 migrate_pages_batch from migrate_pages+0x188/0x488 migrate_pages from compact_zone+0x56c/0x954 compact_zone from compact_node+0x90/0xf0 compact_node from kcompactd+0x1d4/0x204 kcompactd from kthread+0x120/0x12c kthread from ret_from_fork+0x14/0x38 Exception stack(0xc0d8bfb0 to 0xc0d8bff8) To fix it, do not rely on whether 'ptl' is equal to decide whether to hold the pte lock, but decide it by whether CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS is enabled. In addition, if two vmas map to the same PTE page, there is no need to hold the pte lock again, otherwise a deadlock will occur. Just add the need_lock parameter to let adjust_pte() know this information.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: arm: pgtable: corregir problema de desreferencia de puntero NULL Cuando update_mmu_cache_range() es llamado por update_mmu_cache(), el parámetro vmf es NULL, lo que causará un problema de desreferencia de puntero NULL en adjust_pte(): No se puede gestionar la desreferencia de puntero NULL del kernel en la dirección virtual 00000030 cuando se lee Nombre del hardware: Atmel AT91SAM9 La PC está en update_mmu_cache_range+0x1e0/0x278 LR está en pte_offset_map_rw_nolock+0x18/0x2c Rastreo de llamadas: update_mmu_cache_range de remove_migration_pte+0x29c/0x2ec remove_migration_pte de rmap_walk_file+0xcc/0x130 rmap_walk_file de remove_migration_ptes+0x90/0xa4 remove_migration_ptes de migration_pages_batch+0x6d4/0x858 migration_pages_batch de migration_pages+0x188/0x488 migration_pages de compact_zone+0x56c/0x954 compact_zone de compact_node+0x90/0xf0 compact_node de kcompactd+0x1d4/0x204 kcompactd de kthread+0x120/0x12c kthread de ret_from_fork+0x14/0x38 Pila de excepciones (0xc0d8bfb0 a 0xc0d8bff8) Para solucionarlo, no confíe en si 'ptl' es igual para decidir si mantener el bloqueo pte, sino decídalo en función de si CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS está habilitado. Además, si dos máquinas virtuales asignan a la misma página PTE, no es necesario volver a bloquear la página PTE; de lo contrario, se producirá un bloqueo. Simplemente agregue el parámetro need_lock para que adjust_pte() conozca esta información.
