However drc_pmem_query_stats() shouldn't have been called\nsince the vPMEM NVDIMM doesn't support and performance stat-id's. This was caused\ndue to missing check for 'p->stat_buffer_len' at the beginning of\npapr_scm_pmu_check_events() which indicates that the NVDIMM doesn't support\nperformance-stats.\n\nFix this by introducing the check for 'p->stat_buffer_len' at the beginning of\npapr_scm_pmu_check_events().\n\n[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/6B3A522A-6A5F-4CC9-B268-0C63AA6E07D3@linux.ibm.com" } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/papr_scm.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "b073096df4dec70d0436321b7093bad27ae91f9e", "lessThan": "e1295aab2ebcda1c1a9ed342baedc080e5c393e5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "0e0946e22f3665d27325d389ff45ade6e93f3678", "lessThan": "07bf9431b1590d1cd7a8d62075d0b50b073f0495", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/papr_scm.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.18.3", "lessThan": "5.18.4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.18.3", "versionEndExcluding": "5.18.4" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e1295aab2ebcda1c1a9ed342baedc080e5c393e5" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/07bf9431b1590d1cd7a8d62075d0b50b073f0495" } ], "title": "powerpc/papr_scm: don't requests stats with '0' sized stats buffer", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "scope": "UNCHANGED", "version": "3.1", "baseScore": 5.5, "attackVector": "LOCAL", "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "userInteraction": "NONE", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE" } }, { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2022-49353", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "partial" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2025-10-01T19:42:48.865208Z" } } } ], "problemTypes": [ { "descriptions": [ { "lang": "en", "type": "CWE", "cweId": "CWE-476", "description": "CWE-476 NULL Pointer Dereference" } ] } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2025-10-01T19:46:54.302Z" } } ] } }
