The return value is never checked.\n\nIf the initial allocation fails, info->pages remains NULL and\ninfo->max_pages remains 0. Subsequent calls to module_get_next_page()\nwill attempt to dynamically grow the array by calling\nmodule_extend_max_pages(info, 0) since info->used_pages is 0. This\nresults in kvrealloc(NULL, 0) returning ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which is treated\nas a success, leading to a dereference of ZERO_SIZE_PTR and a kernel\noops.\n\nFix: add the missing error check after module_extend_max_pages() and\nreturn immediately on failure. This matches the pattern used by every\nother kvrealloc() caller in the module loading path.\n\n[Sami: Corrected the analysis in the commit message.]"}], "lastModified": "2026-08-17T05:17:29.367", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "BCE8EB1C-BA21-4585-B9DD-EBD770D8C66E", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.178", "versionStartIncluding": "5.17"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "7046B092-F810-4440-ACE6-60218518EECE", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.145", "versionStartIncluding": "6.2"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "38A8100E-2B1A-462F-AEE9-8901B870FEF2", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.96", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "914AE4BC-3D59-4C5A-9DB5-9CE327B429F7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.39", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "6228DDD6-4557-4AA3-9F43-AB995D471E42", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.4", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}
