Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
tracing/osnoise: Fix null-ptr-deref in bitmap_parselist()<br />
<br />
A crash was observed with the following output:<br />
<br />
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010<br />
Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI<br />
CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 92 Comm: osnoise_cpus Not tainted 6.17.0-rc4-00201-gd69eb204c255 #138 PREEMPT(voluntary)<br />
RIP: 0010:bitmap_parselist+0x53/0x3e0<br />
Call Trace:<br />
<br />
osnoise_cpus_write+0x7a/0x190<br />
vfs_write+0xf8/0x410<br />
? do_sys_openat2+0x88/0xd0<br />

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f<br />
<br />
<br />
This issue can be reproduced by below code:<br />
<br />
fd=open("/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/osnoise/cpus", O_WRONLY);<br />
write(fd, "0-2", 0);<br />
<br />
When user pass &#39;count=0&#39; to osnoise_cpus_write(), kmalloc() will return<br />
ZERO_SIZE_PTR (16) and cpulist_parse() treat it as a normal value, which<br />
trigger the null pointer dereference. Add check for the parameter &#39;count&#39;.
