Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\napparmor: fix possible NULL pointer dereference\nprofile->parent->dents[AAFS_PROF_DIR] could be NULL only if its parent is made\nfrom __create_missing_ancestors(..) and 'ent->old' is NULL in\naa_replace_profiles(..).\nIn that case, it must return an error code and the code, -ENOENT represents\nits state that the path of its parent is not existed yet.\nBUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000030\nPGD 0 P4D 0\nPREEMPT SMP PTI\nCPU: 4 PID: 3362 Comm: apparmor_parser Not tainted 6.8.0-24-generic #24\nHardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.15.0-1 04/01/2014\nRIP: 0010:aafs_create.constprop.0+0x7f/0x130\nCode: 4c 63 e0 48 83 c4 18 4c 89 e0 5b 41 5c 41 5d 41 5e 41 5f 5d 31 d2 31 c9 31 f6 31 ff 45 31 c0 45 31 c9 45 31 d2 c3 cc cc cc cc <4d> 8b 55 30 4d 8d ba a0 00 00 00 4c 89 55 c0 4c 89 ff e8 7a 6a ae\nRSP: 0018:ffffc9000b2c7c98 EFLAGS: 00010246\nRAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 00000000000041ed RCX: 0000000000000000\nRDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000000000000\nRBP: ffffc9000b2c7cd8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000\nR10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffffffff82baac10\nR13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000\nFS: 00007be9f22cf740(0000) GS:ffff88817bc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\nCS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\nCR2: 0000000000000030 CR3: 0000000134b08000 CR4: 00000000000006f0\nCall Trace:\n\n? show_regs+0x6d/0x80\n? __die+0x24/0x80\n? page_fault_oops+0x99/0x1b0\n? kernelmode_fixup_or_oops+0xb2/0x140\n? __bad_area_nosemaphore+0x1a5/0x2c0\n? find_vma+0x34/0x60\n? bad_area_nosemaphore+0x16/0x30\n? do_user_addr_fault+0x2a2/0x6b0\n? exc_page_fault+0x83/0x1b0\n? asm_exc_page_fault+0x27/0x30\n? aafs_create.constprop.0+0x7f/0x130\n? aafs_create.constprop.0+0x51/0x130\n__aafs_profile_mkdir+0x3d6/0x480\naa_replace_profiles+0x83f/0x1270\npolicy_update+0xe3/0x180\nprofile_load+0xbc/0x150\n? rw_verify_area+0x47/0x140\nvfs_write+0x100/0x480\n? __x64_sys_openat+0x55/0xa0\n? syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x86/0x260\nksys_write+0x73/0x100\n__x64_sys_write+0x19/0x30\nx64_sys_call+0x7e/0x25c0\ndo_syscall_64+0x7f/0x180\nentry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x78/0x80\nRIP: 0033:0x7be9f211c574\nCode: c7 00 16 00 00 00 b8 ff ff ff ff c3 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 f3 0f 1e fa 80 3d d5 ea 0e 00 00 74 13 b8 01 00 00 00 0f 05 <48> 3d 00 f0 ff ff 77 54 c3 0f 1f 00 55 48 89 e5 48 83 ec 20 48 89\nRSP: 002b:00007ffd26f2b8c8 EFLAGS: 00000202 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000001\nRAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 00005d504415e200 RCX: 00007be9f211c574\nRDX: 0000000000001fc1 RSI: 00005d504418bc80 RDI: 0000000000000004\nRBP: 0000000000001fc1 R08: 0000000000001fc1 R09: 0000000080000000\nR10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000202 R12: 00005d504418bc80\nR13: 0000000000000004 R14: 00007ffd26f2b9b0 R15: 00007ffd26f2ba30\n\nModules linked in: snd_seq_dummy snd_hrtimer qrtr snd_hda_codec_generic snd_hda_intel snd_intel_dspcfg snd_intel_sdw_acpi snd_hda_codec snd_hda_core snd_hwdep snd_pcm snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event snd_rawmidi snd_seq snd_seq_device i2c_i801 snd_timer i2c_smbus qxl snd soundcore drm_ttm_helper lpc_ich ttm joydev input_leds serio_raw mac_hid binfmt_misc msr parport_pc ppdev lp parport efi_pstore nfnetlink dmi_sysfs qemu_fw_cfg ip_tables x_tables autofs4 hid_generic usbhid hid ahci libahci psmouse virtio_rng xhci_pci xhci_pci_renesas\nCR2: 0000000000000030\n---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---\nRIP: 0010:aafs_create.constprop.0+0x7f/0x130\nCode: 4c 63 e0 48 83 c4 18 4c 89 e0 5b 41 5c 41 5d 41 5e 41 5f 5d 31 d2 31 c9 31 f6 31 ff 45 31 c0 45 31 c9 45 31 d2 c3 cc cc cc cc <4d> 8b 55 30 4d 8d ba a0 00 00 00 4c 89 55 c0 4c 89 ff e8 7a 6a ae\nRSP: 0018:ffffc9000b2c7c98 EFLAGS: 00010246\nRAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 00000000000041ed RCX: 0000000000000000\nRDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000000000000\nRBP: ffffc9000b2c7cd8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000\nR10: 0000\n---truncated---
