Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: Fix a memory leak in nf_tables_updchain If nft_netdev_register_hooks() fails, the memory associated with
nft_stats is not freed, causing a memory leak. This patch fixes it by moving nft_stats_alloc() down after
nft_netdev_register_hooks() succeeds.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: netfilter: nf_tables: corrige una pérdida de memoria en nf_tables_updchain Si nft_netdev_register_hooks() falla, la memoria asociada con nft_stats no se libera, lo que provoca una pérdida de memoria. Este parche lo soluciona moviendo nft_stats_alloc() hacia abajo después de que nft_netdev_register_hooks() tenga éxito.

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.
