NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debug-debuginfo package and not the kernel-debug-debuginfo package as distributed by Rocky-Linux.
See How to fix? for Rocky-Linux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
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.
