Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-05-01 06:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 07:18
Severity
5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kprobes/x86: Use copy_from_kernel_nofault() to read from unsafe address Read from an unsafe address with copy_from_kernel_nofault() in arch_adjust_kprobe_addr() because this function is used before checking the address is in text or not. Syzcaller bot found a bug and reported the case if user specifies inaccessible data area, arch_adjust_kprobe_addr() will cause a kernel panic. [ mingo: Clarified the comment. ]
