| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
OPP: fix dev_pm_opp_find_bw_*() when bandwidth table not initialized
If a driver calls dev_pm_opp_find_bw_ceil/floor() the retrieve bandwidth
from the OPP table but the bandwidth table was not created because the
interconnect properties were missing in the OPP consumer node, the
kernel will crash with:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000004
...
pc : _read_bw+0x8/0x10
lr : _opp_table_find_key+0x9c/0x174

In order to fix the crash, create an assert function to check
if the bandwidth table was created before trying to get a
bandwidth with _read_bw(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ubifs: skip dumping tnc tree when zroot is null
Clearing slab cache will free all znode in memory and make
c->zroot.znode = NULL, then dumping tnc tree will access
c->zroot.znode which cause null pointer dereference. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: multitouch: Add NULL check in mt_input_configured
devm_kasprintf() can return a NULL pointer on failure,but this
returned value in mt_input_configured() is not checked.
Add NULL check in mt_input_configured(), to handle kernel NULL
pointer dereference error. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: int3472: Check for adev == NULL
Not all devices have an ACPI companion fwnode, so adev might be NULL. This
can e.g. (theoretically) happen when a user manually binds one of
the int3472 drivers to another i2c/platform device through sysfs.
Add a check for adev not being set and return -ENODEV in that case to
avoid a possible NULL pointer deref in skl_int3472_get_acpi_buffer(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: handle NULL sock pointer in l2cap_sock_alloc
A NULL sock pointer is passed into l2cap_sock_alloc() when it is called
from l2cap_sock_new_connection_cb() and the error handling paths should
also be aware of it.
Seemingly a more elegant solution would be to swap bt_sock_alloc() and
l2cap_chan_create() calls since they are not interdependent to that moment
but then l2cap_chan_create() adds the soon to be deallocated and still
dummy-initialized channel to the global list accessible by many L2CAP
paths. The channel would be removed from the list in short period of time
but be a bit more straight-forward here and just check for NULL instead of
changing the order of function calls.

analysis tool. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: xhci: Fix NULL pointer dereference on certain command aborts
If a command is queued to the final usable TRB of a ring segment, the
enqueue pointer is advanced to the subsequent link TRB and no further.
If the command is later aborted, when the abort completion is handled
the dequeue pointer is advanced to the first TRB of the next segment.
If no further commands are queued, xhci_handle_stopped_cmd_ring() sees
the ring pointers unequal and assumes that there is a pending command,
so it calls xhci_mod_cmd_timer() which crashes if cur_cmd was NULL.
Don't attempt timer setup if cur_cmd is NULL. The subsequent doorbell
ring likely is unnecessary too, but it's harmless. Leave it alone.
This is probably Bug 219532, but no confirmation has been received.
The issue has been independently reproduced and confirmed fixed using
a USB MCU programmed to NAK the Status stage of SET_ADDRESS forever.
Everything continued working normally after several prevented crashes. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Fix regression with module command in stack_trace_filter
When executing the following command:
# echo "write*:mod:ext3" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter
The current mod command causes a null pointer dereference. While commit
0f17976568b3f ("ftrace: Fix regression with module command in stack_trace_filter")
has addressed part of the issue, it left a corner case unhandled, which still
results in a kernel crash. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Prevent NULL dereference in nfsd4_process_cb_update()
@ses is initialized to NULL. If __nfsd4_find_backchannel() finds no
available backchannel session, setup_callback_client() will try to
dereference @ses and segfault. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: enetc: allocate vf_state during PF probes
In the previous implementation, vf_state is allocated memory only when VF
is enabled. However, net_device_ops::ndo_set_vf_mac() may be called before
VF is enabled to configure the MAC address of VF. If this is the case,
enetc_pf_set_vf_mac() will access vf_state, resulting in access to a null
pointer. The simplified error log is as follows.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: improve shutdown sequence
Alexander Sverdlin presents 2 problems during shutdown with the
lan9303 driver. One is specific to lan9303 and the other just happens
to reproduce there.
The first problem is that lan9303 is unique among DSA drivers in that it
calls dev_get_drvdata() at "arbitrary runtime" (not probe, not shutdown,
not remove):
phy_state_machine()
-> ...
-> dsa_user_phy_read()
-> ds->ops->phy_read()
-> lan9303_phy_read()
-> chip->ops->phy_read()
-> lan9303_mdio_phy_read()
-> dev_get_drvdata()
But we never stop the phy_state_machine(), so it may continue to run
after dsa_switch_shutdown(). Our common pattern in all DSA drivers is
to set drvdata to NULL to suppress the remove() method that may come
afterwards. But in this case it will result in an NPD.
The second problem is that the way in which we set
dp->conduit->dsa_ptr = NULL; is concurrent with receive packet
processing. dsa_switch_rcv() checks once whether dev->dsa_ptr is NULL,
but afterwards, rather than continuing to use that non-NULL value,
dev->dsa_ptr is dereferenced again and again without NULL checks:
dsa_conduit_find_user() and many other places. In between dereferences,
there is no locking to ensure that what was valid once continues to be
valid.
Both problems have the common aspect that closing the conduit interface
solves them.
In the first case, dev_close(conduit) triggers the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN
event in dsa_user_netdevice_event() which closes user ports as well.
dsa_port_disable_rt() calls phylink_stop(), which synchronously stops
the phylink state machine, and ds->ops->phy_read() will thus no longer
call into the driver after this point.
In the second case, dev_close(conduit) should do this, as per
Documentation/networking/driver.rst:
| Quiescence
| ----------
|
| After the ndo_stop routine has been called, the hardware must
| not receive or transmit any data. All in flight packets must
| be aborted. If necessary, poll or wait for completion of
| any reset commands.
So it should be sufficient to ensure that later, when we zeroize
conduit->dsa_ptr, there will be no concurrent dsa_switch_rcv() call
on this conduit.
The addition of the netif_device_detach() function is to ensure that
ioctls, rtnetlinks and ethtool requests on the user ports no longer
propagate down to the driver - we're no longer prepared to handle them.
The race condition actually did not exist when commit 0650bf52b31f
("net: dsa: be compatible with masters which unregister on shutdown")
first introduced dsa_switch_shutdown(). It was created later, when we
stopped unregistering the user interfaces from a bad spot, and we just
replaced that sequence with a racy zeroization of conduit->dsa_ptr
(one which doesn't ensure that the interfaces aren't up). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: update orig_path in ext4_find_extent()
In ext4_find_extent(), if the path is not big enough, we free it and set
*orig_path to NULL. But after reallocating and successfully initializing
the path, we don't update *orig_path, in which case the caller gets a
valid path but a NULL ppath, and this may cause a NULL pointer dereference
or a path memory leak. For example:
ext4_split_extent
path = *ppath = 2000
ext4_find_extent
if (depth > path[0].p_maxdepth)
kfree(path = 2000);
*orig_path = path = NULL;
path = kcalloc() = 3000
ext4_split_extent_at(*ppath = NULL)
path = *ppath;
ex = path[depth].p_ext;
// NULL pointer dereference!

Therefore, *orig_path is updated when the extent lookup succeeds, so that
the caller can safely use path or *ppath. |

bcache: revert replacing IS_ERR_OR_NULL with IS_ERR again
Commit 028ddcac477b ("bcache: Remove unnecessary NULL point check in
node allocations") leads a NULL pointer deference in cache_set_flush().
1721 if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(c->root))
1722 list_add(&c->root->list, &c->btree_cache);
>From the above code in cache_set_flush(), if previous registration code
fails before allocating c->root, it is possible c->root is NULL as what
it is initialized. __bch_btree_node_alloc() never returns NULL but
c->root is possible to be NULL at above line 1721.
This patch replaces IS_ERR() by IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to fix this. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dlm: fix possible lkb_resource null dereference
This patch fixes a possible null pointer dereference when this function is
called from request_lock() as lkb->lkb_resource is not assigned yet,
only after validate_lock_args() by calling attach_lkb(). Another issue
is that a resource name could be a non printable bytearray and we cannot
assume to be ASCII coded.
The log functionality is probably never being hit when DLM is used in
normal way and no debug logging is enabled. The null pointer dereference
can only occur on a new created lkb that does not have the resource
assigned yet, it probably never hits the null pointer dereference but we
should be sure that other changes might not change this behaviour and we
actually can hit the mentioned null pointer dereference.
In this patch we just drop the printout of the resource name, the lkb id
is enough to make a possible connection to a resource name if this
exists. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: Fix NULL pointer dereference in gfs2_log_flush
In gfs2_jindex_free(), set sdp->sd_jdesc to NULL under the log flush
lock to provide exclusion against gfs2_log_flush().
In gfs2_log_flush(), check if sdp->sd_jdesc is non-NULL before
dereferencing it. Otherwise, we could run into a NULL pointer
dereference when outstanding glock work races with an unmount
(glock_work_func -> run_queue -> do_xmote -> inode_go_sync ->
gfs2_log_flush). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu: Return right value in iommu_sva_bind_device()
iommu_sva_bind_device() should return either a sva bond handle or an
ERR_PTR value in error cases. Existing drivers (idxd and uacce) only
check the return value with IS_ERR(). This could potentially lead to
a kernel NULL pointer dereference issue if the function returns NULL
instead of an error pointer.
In reality, this doesn't cause any problems because iommu_sva_bind_device()
only returns NULL when the kernel is not configured with CONFIG_IOMMU_SVA.
In this case, iommu_dev_enable_feature(dev, IOMMU_DEV_FEAT_SVA) will
return an error, and the device drivers won't call iommu_sva_bind_device()
at all. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-mq: fix NULL dereference on q->elevator in blk_mq_elv_switch_none
After grabbing q->sysfs_lock, q->elevator may become NULL because of
elevator switch.
Fix the NULL dereference on q->elevator by checking it with lock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/imc-pmu: Add a null pointer check in update_events_in_group()
kasprintf() returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory
which can be NULL upon failure. |
| An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.5.9. During a race with SQ thread exit, an io_uring/fdinfo.c io_uring_show_fdinfo NULL pointer dereference can occur. |
| A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel ipv4 stack. The socket buffer (skb) was assumed to be associated with a device before calling __ip_options_compile, which is not always the case if the skb is re-routed by ipvs. This issue may allow a local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to crash the system. |
| IBM DataPower Gateway 10.5.0.0 through 10.5.0.0 through 10.5.0.22, 10.6.1 through 10.6.6, 10.6.0.0 through 10.6.0.10, and 11.0.0.0 through 11.0.0.2 could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service due to a NULL pointer dereference in GraphQL variable processing. |
