CVE-2024-27051

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: cpufreq: brcmstb-avs-cpufreq: agregar verificación para el valor de retorno de cpufreq_cpu_get cpufreq_cpu_get puede devolver NULL. Para evitar la desreferencia NULL, verifíquelo y devuelva 0 en caso de error. Encontrado por el Centro de verificación de Linux (linuxtesting.org) con SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cpufreq: brcmstb-avs-cpufreq: add check for cpufreq_cpu_get's return value cpufreq_cpu_get may return NULL. To avoid NULL-dereference check it and return 0 in case of error. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

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. 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.
