Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: atm: Fix NULL pointer dereference When MPOA_cache_impos_rcvd() receives the msg, it can trigger
Null Pointer Dereference Vulnerability if both entry and
holding_time are NULL. Because there is only for the situation
where entry is NULL and holding_time exists, it can be passed
when both entry and holding_time are NULL. If these are NULL,
the entry will be passd to eg_cache_put() as parameter and
it is referenced by entry->use code in it. kasan log: [ 3.316691] Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000006:I

Michael Randrianantenaina discovered that the Bluetooth driver in the Linux Kernel contained an improper access control vulnerability. A nearby attacker could use this to connect a rougue device and possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly verify the target namespace when handling upcalls. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.
