DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

pstore: ram_core: fix incorrect success return when vmap() fails

In persistent_ram_vmap(), vmap() may return NULL on failure.

If offset is non-zero, adding offset_in_page(start) causes the function to return a non-NULL pointer even though the mapping failed. persistent_ram_buffer_map() therefore incorrectly returns success.

Subsequent access to prz->buffer may dereference an invalid address and cause crashes.

Add proper NULL checking for vmap() failures.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service via null pointer dereference in Linux kernel's pstore persistent storage subsystem occurs when the vmap() function fails but the persistent_ram_vmap() function incorrectly returns success if a non-zero offset is present, allowing subsequent buffer access to dereference invalid memory and cause system crashes. Affects Linux kernel versions prior to 5.10.252, 5.15.202, 6.1.165, 6.6.128, 6.12.75, 6.18.16, 6.19.6, and 7.0. …
