CVE-2024-26855

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net: ice: corrige una posible desreferencia de puntero NULL en ice_bridge_setlink() La función ice_bridge_setlink() puede encontrar una desreferencia de puntero NULL si nlmsg_find_attr() devuelve NULL y br_spec se desreferencia posteriormente en nla_for_each_nested( ). Para solucionar este problema, agregue una verificación para garantizar que br_spec no sea NULL antes de continuar con la iteración del atributo anidado.

A vulnerability was found in the ice_bridge_setlink() function in the Linux kernel. A missing check to verify whether the nlmsg_find_attr() function returns NULL or not could lead to a NULL pointer dereference, system instability, or crashes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ice: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in ice_bridge_setlink() The function ice_bridge_setlink() may encounter a NULL pointer dereference if nlmsg_find_attr() returns NULL and br_spec is dereferenced subsequently in nla_for_each_nested(). To address this issue, add a check to ensure that br_spec is not NULL before proceeding with the nested attribute iteration.

Zheng Wang discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC WLAN driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition during device removal, leading to a use- after-free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
