NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf6.12-debuginfo package and not the perf6.12-debuginfo package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

of: reserved_mem: prevent OOB when too many dynamic regions are defined

On boot, fdt_scan_reserved_mem() saves each dynamically-placed /reserved-memory subnode into a local array of size MAX_RESERVED_REGIONS.

If the device tree defines more than MAX_RESERVED_REGIONS dynamically-placed regions, fdt_scan_reserved_mem() writes past the end of the local array.

Add a bounds check that logs an error and skips the excess regions, restoring the original behavior.
