  3. CVE-2024-40917
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: memblock: make memblock_set_node() also warn about use of MAX_NUMNODES On an (old) x86 system with SRAT just covering space above 4Gb: ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x100000000-0xfffffffff] hotplug the commit referenced below leads to this NUMA configuration no longer being refused by a CONFIG_NUMA=y kernel (previously NUMA: nodes only cover 6144MB of your 8185MB e820 RAM. Not used. No NUMA configuration found Faking a node at [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000027fffffff] was seen in the log directly after the message quoted above), because of memblock_validate_numa_coverage() checking for NUMA_NO_NODE (only). This in turn led to memblock_alloc_range_nid()'s warning about MAX_NUMNODES triggering, followed by a NULL deref in memmap_init() when trying to access node 64's (NODE_SHIFT=6) node data. To compensate said change, make memblock_set_node() warn on and adjust a passed in value of MAX_NUMNODES, just like various other functions already do.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: memblock: make memblock_set_node() también advierte sobre el uso de MAX_NUMNODES En un sistema x86 (antiguo) con SRAT que solo cubre espacio superior a 4 Gb: ACPI: SRAT: Nodo 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x100000000 -0xfffffffff] hotplug, El commit a la que se hace referencia a continuación hace que esta configuración NUMA ya no sea rechazada por un kernel CONFIG_NUMA=y (anteriormente NUMA: los nodos solo cubren 6144 MB de su RAM e820 de 8185 MB. No se usa. No se encontró ninguna configuración NUMA Falsificar un nodo en [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000027fffffff] se vio en el registro directamente después del mensaje citado anteriormente), debido a que memblock_validate_numa_coverage() verifica NUMA_NO_NODE (solamente). Esto a su vez llevó a la advertencia de memblock_alloc_range_nid() sobre la activación de MAX_NUMNODES, seguida de una deref NULL en memmap_init() al intentar acceder a los datos del nodo 64 (NODE_SHIFT=6). Para compensar dicho cambio, active memblock_set_node() y ajuste un valor pasado de MAX_NUMNODES, tal como lo hacen otras funciones.
