      <title>CVE-2025-38364 — maple_tree: fix MA_STATE_PREALLOC flag in mas_preallocate()</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-38364</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP MFP, Siemens SIPLUS S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;maple_tree: fix MA_STATE_PREALLOC flag in mas_preallocate()&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Temporarily clear the preallocation flag when explicitly requesting
allocations.  Pre-existing allocations are already counted against the
request through mas_node_count_gfp(), but the allocations will not happen
if the MA_STATE_PREALLOC flag is set.  This flag is meant to avoid
re-allocating in bulk allocation mode, and to detect issues with
preallocation calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The MA_STATE_PREALLOC flag should also always be set on zero allocations
so that detection of underflow allocations will print a WARN_ON() during
consumption.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;User visible effect of this flaw is a WARN_ON() followed by a null pointer
dereference when subsequent requests for larger number of nodes is
ignored, such as the vma merge retry in mmap_region() caused by drivers
altering the vma flags (which happens in v6.6, at least)&lt;/p&gt;</description>
