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.

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.
