Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wireguard: netlink: access device through ctx instead of peer The previous commit fixed a bug that led to a NULL peer->device being
dereferenced. It's actually easier and faster performance-wise to
instead get the device from ctx->wg. This semantically makes more sense
too, since ctx->wg->peer_allowedips.seq is compared with
ctx->allowedips_seq, basing them both in ctx. This also acts as a
defence in depth provision against freed peers.
En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: wireguard: netlink: acceda al dispositivo a través de ctx en lugar de peer. el commit anterior solucionó un error que provocaba que se desreferenciara un dispositivo NULL peer->. En realidad, es más fácil y rápido en cuanto a rendimiento obtener el dispositivo desde ctx->wg. Esto también tiene más sentido semánticamente, ya que ctx->wg->peer_allowedips.seq se compara con ctx->allowedips_seq, basándose ambos en ctx. Esto también actúa como una defensa en profundidad contra los pares liberados.

Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. 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.
