CVE-2024-42151 in Linux
الملخص
بحسب MITRE • 30/07/2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: mark bpf_dummy_struct_ops.test_1 parameter as nullable
Test case dummy_st_ops/dummy_init_ret_value passes NULL as the first parameter of the test_1() function. Mark this parameter as nullable to make verifier aware of such possibility. Otherwise, NULL check in the test_1() code:
SEC("struct_ops/test_1") int BPF_PROG(test_1, struct bpf_dummy_ops_state *state) {
if (!state) return ...;
... access state ... }
Might be removed by verifier, thus triggering NULL pointer dereference under certain conditions.
Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
