  3. CVE-2024-36925
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: swiotlb: initialise restricted pool list_head when SWIOTLB_DYNAMIC=y Using restricted DMA pools (CONFIG_DMA_RESTRICTED_POOL=y) in conjunction with dynamic SWIOTLB (CONFIG_SWIOTLB_DYNAMIC=y) leads to the following crash when initialising the restricted pools at boot-time: | Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000008 | Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000005 [#1] PREEMPT SMP | pc : rmem_swiotlb_device_init+0xfc/0x1ec | lr : rmem_swiotlb_device_init+0xf0/0x1ec | Call trace: | rmem_swiotlb_device_init+0xfc/0x1ec | of_reserved_mem_device_init_by_idx+0x18c/0x238 | of_dma_configure_id+0x31c/0x33c | platform_dma_configure+0x34/0x80 faddr2line reveals that the crash is in the list validation code: include/linux/list.h:83 include/linux/rculist.h:79 include/linux/rculist.h:106 kernel/dma/swiotlb.c:306 kernel/dma/swiotlb.c:1695 because add_mem_pool() is trying to list_add_rcu() to a NULL 'mem->pools'. Fix the crash by initialising the 'mem->pools' list_head in rmem_swiotlb_device_init() before calling add_mem_pool().

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: swiotlb: inicializa el grupo restringido list_head cuando SWIOTLB_DYNAMIC=y El uso de grupos DMA restringidos (CONFIG_DMA_RESTRICTED_POOL=y) junto con SWIOTLB dinámico (CONFIG_SWIOTLB_DYNAMIC=y) provoca el siguiente bloqueo al inicializar el grupo restringido grupos en el momento del arranque: | No se puede manejar la desreferencia del puntero NULL del kernel en la dirección virtual 0000000000000008 | Error interno: Ups: 0000000096000005 [#1] SMP ANTICIPADO | ordenador personal: rmem_swiotlb_device_init+0xfc/0x1ec | lr: rmem_swiotlb_device_init+0xf0/0x1ec | Rastreo de llamadas: | rmem_swiotlb_device_init+0xfc/0x1ec | of_reserved_mem_device_init_by_idx+0x18c/0x238 | of_dma_configure_id+0x31c/0x33c | platform_dma_configure+0x34/0x80 faddr2line revela que el bloqueo está en el código de validación de la lista: include/linux/list.h:83 include/linux/rculist.h:79 include/linux/rculist.h:106 kernel/dma/swiotlb. c:306 kernel/dma/swiotlb.c:1695 porque add_mem_pool() está intentando list_add_rcu() a un NULL 'mem->pools'. Solucione el problema inicializando el list_head 'mem->pools' en rmem_swiotlb_device_init() antes de llamar a add_mem_pool().
