CVE-2026-64295

*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> mm: page_ext: add count limit to page_ext_iter_next to prevent invalid PFN access<br /> <br /> The page_ext iteration API does not validate if the PFN still belongs to a<br /> valid section while advancing the iterator. When dynamically adding<br /> memory in the hotplug path, it can lead to a NULL pointer dereference<br /> during page_ext_lookup at the boundary of the last valid section when<br /> iterator count equals __pgcount.<br /> <br /> The for_each_page_ext() macro calls page_ext_iter_next() as its loop<br /> increment. for_each_page_ext() does a "__page_ext =<br /> page_ext_iter_next(&amp;__iter)" at the end. This causes page_ext_iter_next()<br /> to increment iter-&gt;index past __pgcount and call page_ext_lookup(start_pfn<br /> + __pgcount). During memory hotplug (online), the PFN at start_pfn +<br /> __pgcount may belong to a section that has not yet been initialized,<br /> causing page_ext_lookup() to trigger a NULL pointer dereference.<br /> <br /> [ 14.555124][ T846] Call trace:<br /> [ 14.555125][ T846] lookup_page_ext+0x6c/0x108 (P)<br /> [ 14.555127][ T846] page_ext_lookup+0x30/0x3c<br /> [ 14.555129][ T846] __reset_page_owner+0x11c/0x260<br /> [ 14.571201][ T846] __free_pages_ok+0x5e8/0x8e0<br /> [ 14.571204][ T846] __free_pages_core+0x78/0xf0<br /> [ 14.571206][ T846] generic_online_page+0x14/0x24<br /> [ 14.597782][ T846] online_pages+0x178/0x30c<br /> [ 14.597784][ T846] memory_block_change_state+0x284/0x32c<br /> [ 14.597787][ T846] memory_subsys_online+0x4c/0x64<br /> [ 14.597789][ T846] device_online+0x88/0xb0<br /> [ 14.597791][ T846] online_memory_block+0x30/0x40<br /> [ 14.597793][ T846] walk_memory_blocks+0xac/0xe8<br /> [ 14.597794][ T846] add_memory_resource+0x280/0x298<br /> [ 14.656161][ T846] add_memory+0x60/0x98<br /> <br /> Move the iteration boundary enforcement inside the iterator functions, so<br /> callers cannot inadvertently access beyond the requested range.
