要約
〜によって MITRE • 2025年12月24日
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ubi: Fix possible null-ptr-deref in ubi_free_volume()
It willl cause null-ptr-deref in the following case:
uif_init() ubi_add_volume() cdev_add() -> if it fails, call kill_volumes() device_register()
kill_volumes() -> if ubi_add_volume() fails call this function ubi_free_volume() cdev_del() device_unregister() -> trying to delete a not added device, it causes null-ptr-deref
So in ubi_free_volume(), it delete devices whether they are added or not, it will causes null-ptr-deref.
Handle the error case whlie calling ubi_add_volume() to fix this problem. If add volume fails, set the corresponding vol to null, so it can not be accessed in kill_volumes() and release the resource in ubi_add_volume() error path.
Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
