CVE-2024-38575 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Centos security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Centos:9.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-headers package and not the kernel-headers package as distributed by Centos.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: pcie: handle randbuf allocation failure
The kzalloc() in brcmf_pcie_download_fw_nvram() will return null if the physical memory has run out. As a result, if we use get_random_bytes() to generate random bytes in the randbuf, the null pointer dereference bug will happen.
In order to prevent allocation failure, this patch adds a separate function using buffer on kernel stack to generate random bytes in the randbuf, which could prevent the kernel stack from overflow.
