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

    ARM: integrator: Fix early initialization

    Starting with commit bdb249fce9ad4 (ARM: integrator: read counter using
    syscon/regmap), intcp_init_early calls syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible
    which in turn calls of_syscon_register. This function allocates memory.
    Since the memory management code has not been initialized at that time,
    the call always fails. It either returns -ENOMEM or crashes as follows.

    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000c when read
    [0000000c] *pgd=00000000
    Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] ARM
    Modules linked in:
    CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 6.15.0-rc5-00026-g5fcc9bf84ee5 #1 PREEMPT
    Hardware name: ARM Integrator/CP (Device Tree)
    PC is at __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0xec/0x39c
    LR is at __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x34/0x39c
    ...
    Call trace:
     __kmalloc_cache_noprof from of_syscon_register+0x7c/0x310
     of_syscon_register from device_node_get_regmap+0xa4/0xb0
     device_node_get_regmap from intcp_init_early+0xc/0x40
     intcp_init_early from start_kernel+0x60/0x688
     start_kernel from 0x0

    The crash is seen due to a dereferenced pointer which is not supposed to be
    NULL but is NULL if the memory management subsystem has not been
    initialized. The crash is not seen with all versions of gcc. Some versions
    such as gcc 9.x apparently do not dereference the pointer, presumably if
    tracing is disabled. The problem has been reproduced with gcc 10.x, 11.x,
    and 13.x. Either case, if the crash is not seen, the call to
    syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible returns -ENOMEM, and
    sched_clock_register is never called.

    Fix the problem by moving the early initialization code into the standard
    machine initialization code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
