Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cpufreq: exit() callback is optional The exit() callback is optional and shouldn't be called without checking
a valid pointer first. Also, we must clear freq_table pointer even if the exit() callback isn't
present.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: cpufreq: la devolución de llamada exit() es opcional La devolución de llamada exit() es opcional y no debe llamarse sin verificar primero un puntero válido. Además, debemos borrar el puntero freq_table incluso si la devolución de llamada exit() no está presente.

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.
