CVSS v3.1 |
| NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Linux kernel kernel on Linux, x86, ARM (net, bluetooth modules) allows Overflow Buffers. This vulnerability is associated with program files /net/bluetooth/rfcomm/core.C.
This issue affects Linux kernel: v2.6.12-rc2. |
| Issue summary: Processing a maliciously formatted PKCS12 file may lead OpenSSL
to crash leading to a potential Denial of Service attack
Impact summary: Applications loading files in the PKCS12 format from untrusted
sources might terminate abruptly.
A file in PKCS12 format can contain certificates and keys and may come from an
untrusted source. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be NULL, but
OpenSSL does not correctly check for this case. This can lead to a NULL pointer
dereference that results in OpenSSL crashing. If an application processes PKCS12
files from an untrusted source using the OpenSSL APIs then that application will
be vulnerable to this issue.
OpenSSL APIs that are vulnerable to this are: PKCS12_parse(),
PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes()
and PKCS12_newpass().
We have also fixed a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7(). However since this
function is related to writing data we do not consider it security significant.
The FIPS modules in 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: add check that partition length needs to be aligned with block size
Before calling add partition or resize partition, there is no check
on whether the length is aligned with the logical block size.
If the logical block size of the disk is larger than 512 bytes,
then the partition size maybe not the multiple of the logical block size,
and when the last sector is read, bio_truncate() will adjust the bio size,
resulting in an IO error if the size of the read command is smaller than
the logical block size.If integrity data is supported, this will also
result in a null pointer dereference when calling bio_integrity_free. |
| A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in vmwgfx driver in drivers/gpu/vmxgfx/vmxgfx_execbuf.c in GPU component of Linux kernel with device file '/dev/dri/renderD128 (or Dxxx)'. This flaw allows a local attacker with a user account on the system to gain privilege, causing a denial of service(DoS). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix NULL dereference in nfs3svc_encode_getaclres
In error cases the dentry may be NULL.
Before 20798dfe249a, the encoder also checked dentry and
d_really_is_positive(dentry), but that looks like overkill to me--zero
status should be enough to guarantee a positive dentry.
This isn't the first time we've seen an error-case NULL dereference
hidden in the initialization of a local variable in an xdr encoder. But
I went back through the other recent rewrites and didn't spot any
similar bugs. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: Fix null pointer dereference in svc_rqst_free()
When alloc_pages_node() returns null in svc_rqst_alloc(), the
null rq_scratch_page pointer will be dereferenced when calling
put_page() in svc_rqst_free(). Fix it by adding a null check.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: v4l2-async: Fix error handling on steps after finding a match
Once an async connection is found to be matching with an fwnode, a
sub-device may be registered (in case it wasn't already), its bound
operation is called, ancillary links are created, the async connection
is added to the sub-device's list of connections and removed from the
global waiting connection list. Further on, the sub-device's possible own
notifier is searched for possible additional matches.
Fix these specific issues:
- If v4l2_async_match_notify() failed before the sub-notifier handling,
the async connection was unbound and its entry removed from the
sub-device's async connection list. The latter part was also done in
v4l2_async_match_notify().
- The async connection's sd field was only set after creating ancillary
links in v4l2_async_match_notify(). It was however dereferenced in
v4l2_async_unbind_subdev_one(), which was called on error path of
v4l2_async_match_notify() failure. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: imu: adis: Fix NULL pointer dereference in adis_init
The adis_init() function dereferences adis->ops to check if the
individual function pointers (write, read, reset) are NULL, but does
not first check if adis->ops itself is NULL.
Drivers like adis16480, adis16490, adis16545 and others do not set
custom ops and rely on adis_init() assigning the defaults. Since struct
adis is zero-initialized by devm_iio_device_alloc(), adis->ops is NULL
when adis_init() is called, causing a NULL pointer dereference:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
pc : adis_init+0xc0/0x118
Call trace:
adis_init+0xc0/0x118
adis16480_probe+0xe0/0x670
Fix this by checking if adis->ops is NULL before dereferencing it,
falling through to assign the default ops in that case. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw-nuss: Fix null pointer dereference for ndev
In the TX completion packet stage of TI SoCs with CPSW2G instance, which
has single external ethernet port, ndev is accessed without being
initialized if no TX packets have been processed. It results into null
pointer dereference, causing kernel to crash. Fix this by having a check
on the number of TX packets which have been processed. |

Bluetooth: btusb: Fix potential NULL dereference on kmalloc failure
Avoid potential NULL pointer dereference by checking the return value of
kmalloc and handling allocation failure properly. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sch_htb: make htb_deactivate() idempotent
Alan reported a NULL pointer dereference in htb_next_rb_node()
after we made htb_qlen_notify() idempotent.
It turns out in the following case it introduced some regression:
htb_dequeue_tree():
|-> fq_codel_dequeue()
|-> qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog()
|-> htb_qlen_notify()
|-> htb_deactivate()
|-> htb_next_rb_node()
|-> htb_deactivate()
For htb_next_rb_node(), after calling the 1st htb_deactivate(), the
clprio[prio]->ptr could be already set to NULL, which means
htb_next_rb_node() is vulnerable here.
For htb_deactivate(), although we checked qlen before calling it, in
case of qlen==0 after qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog(), we may call it again
which triggers the warning inside.
To fix the issues here, we need to:
1) Make htb_deactivate() idempotent, that is, simply return if we
already call it before.
2) Make htb_next_rb_node() safe against ptr==NULL.
Many thanks to Alan for testing and for the reproducer. |

firmware: qcom: uefisecapp: fix efivars registration race
Since the conversion to using the TZ allocator, the efivars service is
registered before the memory pool has been allocated, something which
can lead to a NULL-pointer dereference in case of a racing EFI variable
access.
Make sure that all resources have been set up before registering the
efivars. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched: address a potential NULL pointer dereference in the GRED scheduler.
If kzalloc in gred_init returns a NULL pointer, the code follows the
error handling path, invoking gred_destroy. This, in turn, calls
gred_offload, where memset could receive a NULL pointer as input,
potentially leading to a kernel crash.
When table->opt is NULL in gred_init(), gred_change_table_def()
is not called yet, so it is not necessary to call ->ndo_setup_tc()
in gred_offload(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: rockchip: rkcanfd_handle_rx_fifo_overflow_int(): bail out if skb cannot be allocated
Fix NULL pointer check in rkcanfd_handle_rx_fifo_overflow_int() to
bail out if skb cannot be allocated. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: etas_es58x: fix potential NULL pointer dereference on udev->serial
The driver assumed that es58x_dev->udev->serial could never be NULL.
While this is true on commercially available devices, an attacker
could spoof the device identity providing a NULL USB serial number.
That would trigger a NULL pointer dereference.
Add a check on es58x_dev->udev->serial before accessing it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: mpi3mr: Fix possible crash when setting up bsg fails
If bsg_setup_queue() fails, the bsg_queue is assigned a non-NULL value.
Consequently, in mpi3mr_bsg_exit(), the condition "if(!mrioc->bsg_queue)"
will not be satisfied, preventing execution from entering
bsg_remove_queue(), which could lead to the following crash:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000041c

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:

Bluetooth: btbcm: Fix NULL deref in btbcm_get_board_name()
devm_kstrdup() can return a NULL pointer on failure,but this
returned value in btbcm_get_board_name() is not checked.
Add NULL check in btbcm_get_board_name(), to handle kernel NULL
pointer dereference error. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfs: Fix oops in nfs_netfs_init_request() when copying to cache
When netfslib wants to copy some data that has just been read on behalf of
nfs, it creates a new write request and calls nfs_netfs_init_request() to
initialise it, but with a NULL file pointer. This causes
nfs_file_open_context() to oops - however, we don't actually need the nfs
context as we're only going to write to the cache.
Fix this by just returning if we aren't given a file pointer and emit a
warning if the request was for something other than copy-to-cache.
Further, fix nfs_netfs_free_request() so that it doesn't try to free the
context if the pointer is NULL. |

This may happen on shared irq case. Such as two Type-C ports share one
irq. After the first port finished tcpci_register_port(), it may trigger
interrupt. However, if the interrupt comes by chance the 2nd port finishes
devm_request_threaded_irq(), the 2nd port interrupt handler will run at
first. Then the above issue happens due to tcpci is still a NULL pointer
in tcpci_irq() when dereference to regmap.
devm_request_threaded_irq()
<-- port1 irq comes
disable_irq(client->irq);
tcpci_register_port()
This will restore the logic to the state before commit (77e85107a771 "usb:
typec: tcpci: support edge irq").
However, moving tcpci_register_port() earlier creates a problem when use
edge irq because tcpci_init() will be called before
devm_request_threaded_irq(). The tcpci_init() writes the ALERT_MASK to
the hardware to tell it to start generating interrupts but we're not ready
to deal with them yet, then the ALERT events may be missed and ALERT line
will not recover to high level forever. To avoid the issue, this will also
set ALERT_MASK register after devm_request_threaded_irq() return. |
