Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: Fix dereference of null pointer flow In the case where chain->flags & NFT_CHAIN_HW_OFFLOAD is false then
nft_flow_rule_create is not called and flow is NULL. The subsequent
error handling execution via label err_destroy_flow_rule will lead
to a null pointer dereference on flow when calling nft_flow_rule_destroy.
Since the error path to err_destroy_flow_rule has to cater for null
and non-null flows, only call nft_flow_rule_destroy if flow is non-null
to fix this issue. Addresses-Coverity: ("Explicity null dereference")
En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: netfilter: nf_tables: corrige la desreferencia del flujo de puntero null. En el caso de que chain->flags & NFT_CHAIN_HW_OFFLOAD sea falso, no se llama a nft_flow_rule_create y el flujo es NULL. La ejecución posterior del manejo de errores a través de la etiqueta err_destroy_flow_rule dará lugar a una desreferencia del puntero null en el flujo al llamar a nft_flow_rule_destroy. Dado que la ruta de error a err_destroy_flow_rule tiene que atender flujos nulos y no nulos, solo llame a nft_flow_rule_destroy si el flujo no es nulo para solucionar este problema. Direcciones-Cobertura: ("Desreferencia nula explícita")
