CVE-2024-38571

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: Thermal/drivers/tsens: se corrigió la desreferencia del puntero nulo Compute_intercept_slope() se llama desde calibrate_8960() (en tsens-8960.c) como Compute_intercept_slope(priv, p1, NULL, ONE_PT_CALIB) lo que conduce a la desreferencia del puntero nulo (si DEBUG o DYNAMIC_DEBUG están configurados). Corrija este error agregando una verificación de puntero nulo. Encontrado por el Centro de verificación de Linux (linuxtesting.org) con SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thermal/drivers/tsens: Fix null pointer dereference compute_intercept_slope() is called from calibrate_8960() (in tsens-8960.c) as compute_intercept_slope(priv, p1, NULL, ONE_PT_CALIB) which lead to null pointer dereference (if DEBUG or DYNAMIC_DEBUG set). Fix this bug by adding null pointer check. 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. 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.
