CVE-2023-52607

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: powerpc/mm: corrige la desreferencia del puntero nulo en pgtable_cache_add kasprintf() devuelve un puntero a la memoria asignada dinámicamente que puede ser NULL en caso de falla. Asegúrese de que la asignación se haya realizado correctamente comprobando la validez del puntero.

A possible null-pointer dereference was found in pgtable_cache_add in the Linux kernel. This may cause a crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: powerpc/mm: Fix null-pointer dereference in pgtable_cache_add kasprintf() returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory which can be NULL upon failure. Ensure the allocation was successful by checking the pointer validity.

It was discovered that the Open vSwitch implementation in the Linux kernel could overflow its stack during recursive action operations under certain conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Sander Wiebing, Alvise de Faveri Tron, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida discovered that the Linux kernel mitigations for the initial Branch History Injection vulnerability were insufficient for Intel processors. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive information.
