Descriptions

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

nouveau/dmem: handle kcalloc() allocation failure

The kcalloc() in nouveau_dmem_evict_chunk() will return null if
the physical memory has run out. As a result, if we dereference
src_pfns, dst_pfns or dma_addrs, the null pointer dereference bugs
will happen.

Moreover, the GPU is going away. If the kcalloc() fails, we could not
evict all pages mapping a chunk. So this patch adds a __GFP_NOFAIL
flag in kcalloc().

Finally, as there is no need to have physically contiguous memory,
this patch switches kcalloc() to kvcalloc() in order to avoid
failing allocations.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: nouveau/dmem: maneja el error de asignación de kcalloc() El kcalloc() en nouveau_dmem_evict_chunk() devolverá nulo si la memoria física se ha agotado. Como resultado, si eliminamos la referencia a src_pfns, dst_pfns o dma_addrs, se producirán errores de desreferenciación del puntero nulo. Además, la GPU está desapareciendo. Si kcalloc() falla, no podremos desalojar todas las páginas que asignan un fragmento. Entonces este parche agrega un indicador __GFP_NOFAIL en kcalloc(). Finalmente, como no es necesario tener memoria físicamente contigua, este parche cambia kcalloc() a kvcalloc() para evitar asignaciones fallidas.
