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

dma-mapping: benchmark: fix node id validation

While validating node ids in map_benchmark_ioctl(), node_possible() may be provided with invalid argument outside of [0,MAX_NUMNODES-1] range leading to:

BUG: KASAN: wild-memory-access in map_benchmark_ioctl (kernel/dma/map_benchmark.c:214) Read of size 8 at addr 1fffffff8ccb6398 by task dma_map_benchma/971 CPU: 7 PID: 971 Comm: dma_map_benchma Not tainted 6.9.0-rc6 #37 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl (lib/dump_stack.c:117) kasan_report (mm/kasan/report.c:603) kasan_check_range (mm/kasan/generic.c:189) variable_test_bit (arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h:227) [inline] arch_test_bit (arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h:239) [inline] _test_bit at (include/asm-generic/bitops/instrumented-non-atomic.h:142) [inline] node_state (include/linux/nodemask.h:423) [inline] map_benchmark_ioctl (kernel/dma/map_benchmark.c:214) full_proxy_unlocked_ioctl (fs/debugfs/file.c:333) __x64_sys_ioctl (fs/ioctl.c:890) do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/common.c:83) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:130)

Compare node ids with sane bounds first. NUMA_NO_NODE is considered a special valid case meaning that benchmarking kthreads won't be bound to a cpuset of a given node.
