Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-07-29 18:30 – Updated: 2024-08-22 15:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cxl/mem: Fix no cxl_nvd during pmem region auto-assembling
When CXL subsystem is auto-assembling a pmem region during cxl endpoint port probing, always hit below calltrace.
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000078 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page RIP: 0010:cxl_pmem_region_probe+0x22e/0x360 [cxl_pmem] Call Trace: ? __die+0x24/0x70 ? page_fault_oops+0x82/0x160 ? do_user_addr_fault+0x65/0x6b0 ? exc_page_fault+0x7d/0x170 ? asm_exc_page_fault+0x26/0x30 ? cxl_pmem_region_probe+0x22e/0x360 [cxl_pmem] ? cxl_pmem_region_probe+0x1ac/0x360 [cxl_pmem] cxl_bus_probe+0x1b/0x60 [cxl_core] really_probe+0x173/0x410 ? __pfxdeviceattach_driver+0x10/0x10 driver_probe_device+0x80/0x170 driver_probe_device+0x1e/0x90 __device_attach_driver+0x90/0x120 bus_for_each_drv+0x84/0xe0 __device_attach+0xbc/0x1f0 bus_probe_device+0x90/0xa0 device_add+0x51c/0x710 devm_cxl_add_pmem_region+0x1b5/0x380 [cxl_core] cxl_bus_probe+0x1b/0x60 [cxl_core]
The cxl_nvd of the memdev needs to be available during the pmem region probe. Currently the cxl_nvd is registered after the endpoint port probe. The endpoint probe, in the case of autoassembly of regions, can cause a pmem region probe requiring the not yet available cxl_nvd. Adjust the sequence so this dependency is met.
This requires adding a port parameter to cxl_find_nvdimm_bridge() that can be used to query the ancestor root port. The endpoint port is not yet available, but will share a common ancestor with its parent, so start the query from there instead.
