CVE-2026-74491

of/address: Fix NULL bus dereference in of_pci_range_parser_one()

Published Aug 15, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

of/address: Fix NULL bus dereference in of_pci_range_parser_one()

The bus matching rework made of_match_bus() return NULL for nodes with
ranges/dma-ranges but no local #address-cells. parser_init() stored that
NULL bus, and the range iterator later dereferenced it.

Reject such nodes in parser_init(), leaving an explicit empty
iterator for callers that ignore the init return, and make
of_dma_get_max_cpu_address() honour the init failure so a rejected node
cannot clamp the DMA limit.
