Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-04-03 16:16 - Updated: 2026-07-24 21:10

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: arm_mpam: Fix null pointer dereference when restoring bandwidth counters When an MSC supporting memory bandwidth monitoring is brought offline and then online, mpam_restore_mbwu_state() calls __ris_msmon_read() via ipi to restore the configuration of the bandwidth counters. It doesn't care about the value read, mbwu_arg.val, and doesn't set it leading to a null pointer dereference when __ris_msmon_read() adds to it. This results in a kernel oops with a call trace such as: Call trace: __ris_msmon_read+0x19c/0x64c (P) mpam_restore_mbwu_state+0xa0/0xe8 smp_call_on_cpu_callback+0x1c/0x38 process_one_work+0x154/0x4b4 worker_thread+0x188/0x310 kthread+0x11c/0x130 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 Provide a local variable for val to avoid __ris_msmon_read() dereferencing a null pointer when adding to val.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
