CVE-2023-52613
Description
From CVE.org
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drivers/thermal/loongson2_thermal: Fix incorrect PTR_ERR() judgment PTR_ERR() returns -ENODEV when thermal-zones are undefined, and we need -ENODEV as the right value for comparison. Otherwise, tz->type is NULL when thermal-zones is undefined, resulting in the following error: [ 12.290030] CPU 1 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffffffffffffff1, era == 900000000355f410, ra == 90000000031579b8 [ 12.302877] Oops[#1]: [ 12.305190] CPU: 1 PID: 181 Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 6.6.0-rc7+ #5385 [ 12.312304] pc 900000000355f410 ra 90000000031579b8 tp 90000001069e8000 sp 90000001069eba10 [ 12.320739] a0 0000000000000000 a1 fffffffffffffff1 a2 0000000000000014 a3 0000000000000001 [ 12.329173] a4 90000001069eb990 a5 0000000000000001 a6 0000000000001001 a7 900000010003431c [ 12.337606] t0 fffffffffffffff1 t1 54567fd5da9b4fd4 t2 900000010614ec40 t3 00000000000dc901 [ 12.346041] t4 0000000000000000 t5 0000000000000004 t6 900000010614ee20 t7 900000000d00b790 [ 12.354472] t8 00000000000dc901 u0 54567fd5da9b4fd4 s9 900000000402ae10 s0 900000010614ec40 [ 12.362916] s1 90000000039fced0 s2 ffffffffffffffed s3 ffffffffffffffed s4 9000000003acc000 [ 12.362931] s5 0000000000000004 s6 fffffffffffff000 s7 0000000000000490 s8 90000001028b2ec8 [ 12.362938] ra: 90000000031579b8 thermal_add_hwmon_sysfs+0x258/0x300 [ 12.386411] ERA: 900000000355f410 strscpy+0xf0/0x160 [ 12.391626] CRMD: 000000b0 (PLV0 -IE -DA +PG DACF=CC DACM=CC -WE) [ 12.397898] PRMD: 00000004 (PPLV0 +PIE -PWE) [ 12.403678] EUEN: 00000000 (-FPE -SXE -ASXE -BTE) [ 12.409859] ECFG: 00071c1c (LIE=2-4,10-12 VS=7) [ 12.415882] ESTAT: 00010000 [PIL] (IS= ECode=1 EsubCode=0) [ 12.415907] BADV: fffffffffffffff1 [ 12.415911] PRID: 0014a000 (Loongson-64bit, Loongson-2K1000) [ 12.415917] Modules linked in: loongson2_thermal(+) vfat fat uio_pdrv_genirq uio fuse zram zsmalloc [ 12.415950] Process systemd-udevd (pid: 181, threadinfo=00000000358b9718, task=00000000ace72fe3) [ 12.415961] Stack : 0000000000000dc0 54567fd5da9b4fd4 900000000402ae10 9000000002df9358 [ 12.415982] ffffffffffffffed 0000000000000004 9000000107a10aa8 90000001002a3410 [ 12.415999] ffffffffffffffed ffffffffffffffed 9000000107a11268 9000000003157ab0 [ 12.416016] 9000000107a10aa8 ffffff80020fc0c8 90000001002a3410 ffffffffffffffed [ 12.416032] 0000000000000024 ffffff80020cc1e8 900000000402b2a0 9000000003acc000 [ 12.416048] 90000001002a3410 0000000000000000 ffffff80020f4030 90000001002a3410 [ 12.416065] 0000000000000000 9000000002df6808 90000001002a3410 0000000000000000 [ 12.416081] ffffff80020f4030 0000000000000000 90000001002a3410 9000000002df2ba8 [ 12.416097] 00000000000000b4 90000001002a34f4 90000001002a3410 0000000000000002 [ 12.416114] ffffff80020f4030 fffffffffffffff0 90000001002a3410 9000000002df2f30 [ 12.416131] ...

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
CVSS v3 Score Breakdown

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart
NULL pointer dereferences usually result in the failure of the process unless exception handling (on some platforms) is available and implemented. Even when exception handling is being used, it can still be very difficult to return the software to a safe state of operation.
Integrity,Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands; Read Memory; Modify Memory
In rare circumstances, when NULL is equivalent to the 0x0 memory address and privileged code can access it, then writing or reading memory is possible, which may lead to code execution.
