- Summary
- ACPI: APEI: Fix integer overflow in ghes_estatus_pool_init()
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: APEI: Fix integer overflow in ghesestatuspool_init()
Change num_ghes from int to unsigned int, preventing an overflow and causing subsequent vmalloc() to fail.
The overflow happens in ghesestatuspool_init() when calculating len during execution of the statement below as both multiplication operands here are signed int:
len += (numghes * GHESESOURCEPREALLOCMAX_SIZE);
The following call trace is observed because of this bug:
[ 9.317108] swapper/0: vmalloc error: size 18446744071562596352, exceeds total pages, mode:0xcc0(GFPKERNEL), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,memsallowed=0-1 [ 9.317131] Call Trace: [ 9.317134] <TASK> [ 9.317137] dumpstacklvl+0x49/0x5f [ 9.317145] dumpstack+0x10/0x12 [ 9.317146] warnalloc.cold+0x7b/0xdf [ 9.317150] ? _deviceattach+0x16a/0x1b0 [ 9.317155] _vmallocnoderange+0x702/0x740 [ 9.317160] ? deviceadd+0x17f/0x920 [ 9.317164] ? devsetname+0x53/0x70 [ 9.317166] ? platformdeviceadd+0xf9/0x240 [ 9.317168] _vmallocnode+0x49/0x50 [ 9.317170] ? ghesestatuspoolinit+0x43/0xa0 [ 9.317176] vmalloc+0x21/0x30 [ 9.317177] ghesestatuspoolinit+0x43/0xa0 [ 9.317179] acpihestinit+0x129/0x19c [ 9.317185] acpiinit+0x434/0x4a4 [ 9.317188] ? acpisleepprocinit+0x2a/0x2a [ 9.317190] dooneinitcall+0x48/0x200 [ 9.317195] kernelinitfreeable+0x221/0x284 [ 9.317200] ? restinit+0xe0/0xe0 [ 9.317204] kernelinit+0x1a/0x130 [ 9.317205] retfromfork+0x22/0x30 [ 9.317208] </TASK>
