CVE-2026-53338CVE-2026-53338
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: airoha: Add NULL check for of_reserved_mem_lookup() in airoha_qdma_init_hfwd_queues()
of_reserved_mem_lookup() may return NULL if the reserved memory region
referenced by the "memory-region" phandle is not found in the reserved
memory table (e.g. due to a misconfigured DTS or a removed
memory-region node). The current code dereferences the returned
pointer without checking for NULL, leading to a kernel NULL pointer
dereference at the following lines:
dma_addr = rmem->base; // line 1156
num_desc = div_u64(rmem->size, buf_size); // line 1160
Add a NULL check after of_reserved_mem_lookup() and return -ENODEV if
the lookup fails, which is consistent with the existing error handling
for of_parse_phandle() failure in the same code block.
