Descriptions

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.7. A NULL pointer dereference can occur when megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in megasas_alloc_cmds() in drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c. This causes a Denial of Service, related to a use-after-free.

Fue descubierto un fallo en el kernel de Linux anterior a 5.0.7. Una desreferencia de puntero NULL puede ocurrir cuando falla megasas_create_frame_pool() en megasas_alloc_cmds() en drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c. Esto puede causar una denegación de servicio (DoS), relacionada a un uso después de liberación de memoria.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, prior to version 5.0.7, in drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c, where a NULL pointer dereference can occur when megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in megasas_alloc_cmds(). An attacker can crash the system if they were able to load the megaraid_sas kernel module and groom memory beforehand, leading to a denial of service (DoS), related to a use-after-free.
