Vulnerability CVE-2024-34777
Published: 2024-06-21

Description:
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dma-mapping: benchmark: fix node id validation

While validating node ids in map_benchmark_ioctl(), node_possible() may
be provided with invalid argument outside of [0,MAX_NUMNODES-1] range
leading to:

BUG: KASAN: wild-memory-access in map_benchmark_ioctl (kernel/dma/map_benchmark.c:214)
Read of size 8 at addr 1fffffff8ccb6398 by task dma_map_benchma/971
CPU: 7 PID: 971 Comm: dma_map_benchma Not tainted 6.9.0-rc6 #37
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)

Compare node ids with sane bounds first. NUMA_NO_NODE is considered a
special valid case meaning that benchmarking kthreads won't be bound to a
cpuset of a given node.
