Details
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ima: Check for ERR_PTR from dentry_path() in validate_hash_algo()
dentry_path() returns ERR_PTR(-ENAMETOOLONG) when the path exceeds the buffer. validate_hash_algo() passes the result straight to integrity_audit_msg() without checking. ERR_PTR is not NULL, so integrity_audit_message() sees a valid pointer and calls strlen() on it, which faults:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffffffffdc
RIP: 0010:strlen+0x30/0xa0
Call Trace:
audit_log_untrustedstring+0x19/0x30
integrity_audit_message+0x366/0x4f0
ima_inode_setxattr+0x512/0x5f0
Check for IS_ERR() and use NULL instead, which makes the audit message skip the name= field instead of crashing.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
