Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hv_sock: Initializing vsk->trans to NULL to prevent a dangling pointer When hvs is released, there is a possibility that vsk->trans may not
be initialized to NULL, which could lead to a dangling pointer.
This issue is resolved by initializing vsk->trans to NULL.
En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: hv_sock: inicialización de vsk->trans en NULL para evitar un puntero colgante. Cuando se lanza hvs, existe la posibilidad de que vsk->trans no se inicialice en NULL, lo que podrÃa provocar un puntero colgante. Este problema se resuelve inicializando vsk->trans en NULL.

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. Ye Zhang and Nicolas Wu discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle locking for rings with IOPOLL, leading to a double-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
