GHSA-478P-QCHQ-Q398

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-27 15:33 – Updated: 2026-06-24 18:32
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ovpn: tcp - don't deref NULL sk_socket member after tcp_close()

When deleting a peer in case of keepalive expiration, the peer is removed from the OpenVPN hashtable and is temporary inserted in a "release list" for further processing.

This happens in: ovpn_peer_keepalive_work() unlock_ovpn(release_list)

This processing includes detaching from the socket being used to talk to this peer, by restoring its original proto and socket ops/callbacks.

In case of TCP it may happen that, while the peer is sitting in the release list, userspace decides to close the socket. This will result in a concurrent execution of:

tcp_close(sk) __tcp_close(sk) sock_orphan(sk) sk_set_socket(sk, NULL)

The last function call will set sk->sk_socket to NULL.

When the releasing routine is resumed, ovpn_tcp_socket_detach() will attempt to dereference sk->sk_socket to restore its original ops member. This operation will crash due to sk->sk_socket being NULL.

Fix this race condition by testing-and-accessing sk->sk_socket atomically under sk->sk_callback_lock.

GHSA-47FG-G734-5WFF

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-09-18 09:30 – Updated: 2024-09-24 18:31
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ASoC: Intel: Boards: Fix NULL pointer deref in BYT/CHT boards harder

Since commit 13f58267cda3 ("ASoC: soc.h: don't create dummy Component via COMP_DUMMY()") dummy codecs declared like this:

SND_SOC_DAILINK_DEF(dummy, DAILINK_COMP_ARRAY(COMP_DUMMY()));

expand to:

static struct snd_soc_dai_link_component dummy[] = { };

Which means that dummy is a zero sized array and thus dais[i].codecs should not be dereferenced at all since it points to the address of the next variable stored in the data section as the "dummy" variable has an address but no size, so even dereferencing dais[0] is already an out of bounds array reference.

Which means that the if (dais[i].codecs->name) check added in commit 7d99a70b6595 ("ASoC: Intel: Boards: Fix NULL pointer deref in BYT/CHT boards") relies on that the part of the next variable which the name member maps to just happens to be NULL.

Which apparently so far it usually is, except when it isn't and then it results in crashes like this one:

[ 28.795659] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000000030011 ... [ 28.795780] Call Trace: [ 28.795787] ... [ 28.795862] ? strcmp+0x18/0x40 [ 28.795872] 0xffffffffc150c605 [ 28.795887] platform_probe+0x40/0xa0 ... [ 28.795979] ? __pfx_init_module+0x10/0x10 [snd_soc_sst_bytcr_wm5102]

Really fix things this time around by checking dais.num_codecs != 0.

GHSA-47V5-CR23-PW2C

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-07-29 18:30 – Updated: 2025-11-03 21:31
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: mana: Fix possible double free in error handling path

When auxiliary_device_add() returns error and then calls auxiliary_device_uninit(), callback function adev_release calls kfree(madev). We shouldn't call kfree(madev) again in the error handling path. Set 'madev' to NULL.

GHSA-47WW-93V9-3CQ9

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-04-11 12:30 – Updated: 2024-04-11 12:30
VLAI
Details

Animate versions 23.0.4, 24.0.1 and earlier are affected by a NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability that could lead to an application denial-of-service. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to cause a system crash, resulting in a denial of service. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

Mitigation MIT-56
Implementation

For any pointers that could have been modified or provided from a function that can return NULL, check the pointer for NULL before use. When working with a multithreaded or otherwise asynchronous environment, ensure that proper locking APIs are used to lock before the check, and unlock when it has finished [REF-1484].

Mitigation
Requirements

Select a programming language that is not susceptible to these issues.

Mitigation
Implementation

Check the results of all functions that return a value and verify that the value is non-null before acting upon it.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Identify all variables and data stores that receive information from external sources, and apply input validation to make sure that they are only initialized to expected values.

Mitigation
Implementation

Explicitly initialize all variables and other data stores, either during declaration or just before the first usage.

No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
