Descriptions

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

lan966x: Fix crash when adding interface under a lag

There is a crash when adding one of the lan966x interfaces under a lag
interface. The issue can be reproduced like this:
ip link add name bond0 type bond miimon 100 mode balance-xor
ip link set dev eth0 master bond0

The reason is because when adding a interface under the lag it would go
through all the ports and try to figure out which other ports are under
that lag interface. And the issue is that lan966x can have ports that are
NULL pointer as they are not probed. So then iterating over these ports
it would just crash as they are NULL pointers.
The fix consists in actually checking for NULL pointers before accessing
something from the ports. Like we do in other places.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: lan966x: se solucionó el bloqueo al agregar una interfaz con un retraso. Se produce un bloqueo al agregar una de las interfaces lan966x con un retraso. El problema se puede reproducir así: enlace ip agregar nombre bond0 tipo bond miimon modo 100 balance-xor enlace ip establecer dev eth0 master bond0 La razón es que al agregar una interfaz bajo el retraso pasaría por todos los puertos e intentaría calcular determine qué otros puertos están bajo esa interfaz de retraso. Y el problema es que lan966x puede tener puertos que sean punteros NULL ya que no están sondeados. Entonces, al iterar sobre estos puertos, simplemente fallaría porque son punteros NULL. La solución consiste en comprobar si hay punteros NULL antes de acceder a algo desde los puertos. Como hacemos en otros lugares.
