CVE-2024-45028 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mmc: mmc_test: Fix NULL dereference on allocation failure If the "test->highmem = alloc_pages()" allocation fails then calling __free_pages(test->highmem) will result in a NULL dereference. Also change the error code to -ENOMEM instead of returning success.
A NULL dereference vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's MMC test suite, specifically within the high memory allocation tests. This issue arises when the allocation of high memory pages fails. The code attempts to free the allocated pages without checking if the allocation was successful, leading to a NULL dereference. The vulnerability is present in the Linux kernel stable tree.
Users can upgrade to the latest Linux kernel packages to address this vulnerability. For Debian 11, the updated package is included in version 5.10.226-1. Users can also upgrade to the backported Linux 6.1 version, which includes the fix.
