CVE-2024-27046

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: nfp: flor: manejar el error de asignación de acti_netdevs El kmalloc_array() en nfp_fl_lag_do_work() devolverá nulo, si la memoria física se ha agotado. Como resultado, si eliminamos la referencia a acti_netdevs, se producirán errores de desreferencia del puntero nulo. Este parche agrega una verificación para juzgar si se produce una falla en la asignación. Si esto sucede, el trabajo retrasado se reprogramará y se intentará nuevamente.

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ethernet lag_conf.c driver in the nfp_fl_lag_do_work() function, where a NULL pointer dereference can occur due to a lack of proper checks. The scenario is caused when the function attempts to call kmalloc_array(), which returns as NULL because the physical memory has run out, and the corresponding value acti_netdevs is then used. This flaw can result in system instability.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfp: flower: handle acti_netdevs allocation failure The kmalloc_array() in nfp_fl_lag_do_work() will return null, if the physical memory has run out. As a result, if we dereference the acti_netdevs, the null pointer dereference bugs will happen. This patch adds a check to judge whether allocation failure occurs. If it happens, the delayed work will be rescheduled and try again.

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.
