Summary

In the Linux kernel for the MIPS architecture, in the maar_res_walk() function, there is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. The function does not check if the array is full before writing, which can lead to memory corruption when there are many memory ranges.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could be exploited to cause a system crash or potentially escalate privileges on MIPS systems.

Recommendation

Apply a Linux kernel update containing the fix that moves the array-full check before the write.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: MIPS: mm: Fix out-of-bounds write in maar_res_walk() maar_res_walk() uses wi->num_cfg as the index into the fixed-size wi->cfg array, but checks whether the array is full only after it has filled the selected entry. If walk_system_ram_range() reports more than 16 memory ranges, the overflow call writes one struct maar_config past the end of the array before WARN_ON() prevents num_cfg from advancing. Move the full-array check before taking the array slot and return non-zero when the scratch array is full, so walk_system_ram_range() terminates the walk instead of invoking the callback for further ranges.
