Type:
CWE-476
NULL Pointer Dereference
Publication date:

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
tee: add overflow check in register_shm_helper()<br />
<br />
With special lengths supplied by user space, register_shm_helper() has<br />
an integer overflow when calculating the number of pages covered by a<br />
supplied user space memory region.<br />
<br />
This causes internal_get_user_pages_fast() a helper function of<br />
pin_user_pages_fast() to do a NULL pointer dereference:<br />
<br />
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000010<br />
Modules linked in:<br />
CPU: 1 PID: 173 Comm: optee_example_a Not tainted 5.19.0 #11<br />
Hardware name: QEMU QEMU Virtual Machine, BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015<br />
pc : internal_get_user_pages_fast+0x474/0xa80<br />
Call trace:<br />
internal_get_user_pages_fast+0x474/0xa80<br />
pin_user_pages_fast+0x24/0x4c<br />
register_shm_helper+0x194/0x330<br />

tee_ioctl+0xd0/0x11a0<br />
__arm64_sys_ioctl+0xa8/0xec<br />
invoke_syscall+0x48/0x114<br />
<br />
Fix this by adding an an explicit call to access_ok() in<br />
tee_shm_register_user_buf() to catch an invalid user space address<br />
early.
