CVE-2025-39903
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of_numa: fix uninitialized memory nodes causing kernel panic
When there are memory-only nodes (nodes without CPUs), these nodes are not properly initialized, causing kernel panic during boot.
In of_numa_parse_cpu_nodes, numa_nodes_parsed gets updated only for nodes containing CPUs. Memory-only nodes should have been updated in of_numa_parse_memory_nodes, but they weren't.
Subsequently, when free_area_init() attempts to access NODE_DATA() for these uninitialized memory nodes, the kernel panics due to NULL pointer dereference.
This can be reproduced on ARM64 QEMU with 1 CPU and 2 memory nodes:
