In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: extable: fix load_unaligned_zeropad() reg indices
In ex_handler_load_unaligned_zeropad() we erroneously extract the data and
addr register indices from ex->type rather than ex->data. As ex->type will
contain EX_TYPE_LOAD_UNALIGNED_ZEROPAD (i.e. 4):
* We'll always treat X0 as the address register, since EX_DATA_REG_ADDR is
extracted from bits [9:5]. Thus, we may attempt to dereference an
arbitrary address as X0 may hold an arbitrary value.
* We'll always treat X4 as the data register, since EX_DATA_REG_DATA is
extracted from bits [4:0]. Thus we will corrupt X4 and cause arbitrary
behaviour within load_unaligned_zeropad() and its caller.
Fix this by extracting both values from ex->data as originally intended.
On an MTE-enabled QEMU image we are hitting the following crash:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
