CVE-2025-38456

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipmi:msghandler: Fix potential memory corruption in ipmi_create_user() The "intf" list iterator is an invalid pointer if the correct "intf->intf_num" is not found. Calling atomic_dec(&intf->nr_users) on and invalid pointer will lead to memory corruption. We don't really need to call atomic_dec() if we haven't called atomic_add_return() so update the if (intf->in_shutdown) path as well.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ipmi:msghandler: Se corrige una posible corrupción de memoria en ipmi_create_user(). El iterador de lista "intf" es un puntero no válido si no se encuentra el valor correcto "intf->intf_num". Llamar a atomic_dec(&intf->nr_users) en un puntero no válido provocará corrupción de memoria. No es necesario llamar a atomic_dec() si no se ha llamado a atomic_add_return(), así que actualice también la ruta if (intf->in_shutdown).
