Overview

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: typec: ps883x: Fix Oops at unbind When trying to unbind a device in order to bind to it vfio-platform as: echo bc0000.geniqup > /sys/bus/platform/devices/bc0000.geniqup/driver/unbind I get the following Oops: [ 436.478639] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000020 [ 436.487762] Mem abort info: [ 436.490716] ESR = 0x0000000096000004 [ 436.494595] EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits [ 436.500071] SET = 0, FnV = 0 [ 436.503250] EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 [ 436.506505] FSC = 0x04: level 0 translation fault [ 436.511533] Data abort info: [ 436.514558] ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004, ISS2 = 0x00000000 [ 436.520215] CM = 0, WnR = 0, TnD = 0, TagAccess = 0 [ 436.525436] GCS = 0, Overlay = 0, DirtyBit = 0, Xs = 0 [ 436.530918] user pgtable: 4k pages, 48-bit VAs, pgdp=00000008861a9000 [ 436.537554] [0000000000000020] pgd=0000000000000000, p4d=0000000000000000 [ 436.544548] Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000004 [#1] SMP [ 436.550374] Modules linked in: [ 436.553542] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 671 Comm: bash Tainted: G W 7.0.0-rc3-g56fcdd0911a5-dirty #2 PREEMPT [ 436.564440] Tainted: [W]=WARN [ 436.567515] Hardware name: LENOVO 91B6CTO1WW/3796, BIOS O6NKT3BA 05/02/2025 [ 436.574675] pstate: 21400005 (nzCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO +DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ 436.581841] pc : ps883x_retimer_remove+0x14/0x94 [ 436.586605] lr : i2c_device_remove+0x28/0x84 [ 436.591017] sp : ffff8000847137c0 That's because the ps883x_retimer_remove() retrieves the driver data from i2c_get_clientdata() which was never set at probe. So, add i2c_set_clientdata() at the end of the probe.

Configurations

  1. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm: page_ext: add count limit to page_ext_iter_next to prevent invalid PFN access The page_ext iteration API does not validate if the PFN still belongs to a valid section while advancing the iterator. When dynamically adding memory in the hotplug path, it can lead to a NULL pointer dereference during page_ext_lookup at the boundary of the last valid section when iterator count equals __pgcount. The for_each_page_ext() macro calls page_ext_iter_next() as its loop increment. for_each_page_ext() does a "__page_ext = page_ext_iter_next(&__iter)" at the end. This causes page_ext_iter_next() to increment iter->index past __pgcount and call page_ext_lookup(start_pfn + __pgcount). During memory hotplug (online), the PFN at start_pfn + __pgcount may belong to a section that has not yet been initialized, causing page_ext_lookup() to trigger a NULL pointer dereference.
