Subject: CVE-2025-39920: pcmcia: Add error handling for add_interval() in do_validate_mem()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pcmcia: Add error handling for add_interval() in do_validate_mem()
In the do_validate_mem(), the call to add_interval() does not
handle errors. If kmalloc() fails in add_interval(), it could
result in a null pointer being inserted into the linked list,
leading to illegal memory access when sub_interval() is called
next.
This patch adds an error handling for the add_interval(). If
add_interval() returns an error, the function will return early
with the error code.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-39920 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
