CVE-2024-50160

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ALSA: hda/cs8409: Se corrige una posible desreferencia de NULL. Si snd_hda_gen_add_kctl no puede asignar memoria y devuelve NULL, se producirá una desreferencia de puntero NULL en la siguiente línea. Dado que la función dolphin_fixups es una función hda_fixup que no debería devolver ningún error, se debe agregar una comprobación simple antes de la desreferencia e ignorar el error. Encontrado por Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) con SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: hda/cs8409: Fix possible NULL dereference If snd_hda_gen_add_kctl fails to allocate memory and returns NULL, then NULL pointer dereference will occur in the next line. Since dolphin_fixups function is a hda_fixup function which is not supposed to return any errors, add simple check before dereference, ignore the fail. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Attila Szász discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the Linux Kernel contained a heap overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
