Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-09-23 07:02:37 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tracing/osnoise: Fix null-ptr-deref in bitmap_parselist()

A crash was observed with the following output:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010
Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 92 Comm: osnoise_cpus Not tainted 6.17.0-rc4-00201-gd69eb204c255 #138 PREEMPT(voluntary)
RIP: 0010:bitmap_parselist+0x53/0x3e0
Call Trace:
 <TASK>
 osnoise_cpus_write+0x7a/0x190
 vfs_write+0xf8/0x410

 </TASK>

This issue can be reproduced by below code:

fd=open("/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/osnoise/cpus", O_WRONLY);
write(fd, "0-2", 0);

When user pass 'count=0' to osnoise_cpus_write(), kmalloc() will return
ZERO_SIZE_PTR (16) and cpulist_parse() treat it as a normal value, which
trigger the null pointer dereference. Add check for the parameter 'count'.
