Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mlxsw: spectrum_acl_tcam: Fix incorrect list API usage Both the function that migrates all the chunks within a region and the
function that migrates all the entries within a chunk call
list_first_entry() on the respective lists without checking that the
lists are not empty. This is incorrect usage of the API, which leads to
the following warning [1]. Fix by returning if the lists are empty as there is nothing to migrate
in this case. [1]

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: mlxsw: espectro_acl_tcam: corrige el uso incorrecto de la API de lista. Tanto la función que migra todos los fragmentos dentro de una región como la función que migra todas las entradas dentro de un fragmento llaman a list_first_entry() en el respectivo listas sin verificar que las listas no estén vacías. Este es un uso incorrecto de la API, lo que genera la siguiente advertencia [1]. Para solucionarlo, regrese si las listas están vacías, ya que en este caso no hay nada que migrar.

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. Gui-Dong Han discovered that the software RAID driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. A privileged attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.
