Summary

In the Linux kernel, the airoha network driver lacks a NULL check for the result of of_reserved_mem_lookup(). This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference and system crash when a device tree entry is misconfigured.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of system crashes (kernel panic) due to incorrect hardware or device tree configuration, potentially causing service disruption.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that adds a NULL check and returns -ENODEV on lookup failure.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: airoha: Add NULL check for of_reserved_mem_lookup() in airoha_qdma_init_hfwd_queues() of_reserved_mem_lookup() may return NULL if the reserved memory region referenced by the "memory-region" phandle is not found in the reserved memory table (e.g. due to a misconfigured DTS or a removed memory-region node). The current code dereferences the returned pointer without checking for NULL, leading to a kernel NULL pointer dereference at the following lines: dma_addr = rmem->base; // line 1156 num_desc = div_u64(rmem->size, buf_size); // line 1160 Add a NULL check after of_reserved_mem_lookup() and return -ENODEV if the lookup fails, which is consistent with the existing error handling for of_parse_phandle() failure in the same code block.
