CVE-2024-43860 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: remoteproc: imx_rproc: Skip over memory region when node value is NULL In imx_rproc_addr_init() "nph = of_count_phandle_with_args()" just counts number of phandles. But phandles may be empty. So of_parse_phandle() in the parsing loop (0 < a < nph) may return NULL which is later dereferenced. Adjust this issue by adding NULL-return check. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE. [Fixed title to fit within the prescribed 70-75 charcters]
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's remoteproc subsystem, specifically within the IMX remoteproc driver, has been addressed. The issue arose in the 'imx_rproc_addr_init()' function, where the number of phandles was counted, but empty phandles could lead to a NULL value being returned and subsequently dereferenced. This vulnerability has been fixed by adding a NULL-check before the dereference. The flaw was identified by the Linux Verification Center using the SVACE tool.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been fixed. For Debian 11, this is version 5.10.226-1. Users on Debian 11 with the backports version of Linux should upgrade to the 6.1 version.
