GHSA-3C47-WMC3-5XQX
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-04-17 12:32 – Updated: 2024-04-30 15:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hns3: fix kernel crash when 1588 is received on HIP08 devices
The HIP08 devices does not register the ptp devices, so the hdev->ptp is NULL, but the hardware can receive 1588 messages, and set the HNS3_RXD_TS_VLD_B bit, so, if match this case, the access of hdev->ptp->flags will cause a kernel crash:

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-22 09:31 – Updated: 2025-01-31 15:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: fix mempool NULL pointer race when completing IO
dm_io_dec_pending() calls end_io_acct() first and will then dec md in-flight pending count. But if a task is swapping DM table at same time this can result in a crash due to mempool->elements being NULL:

Fix this by: 1) Establishing pointers to 'struct dm_io' members in dm_io_dec_pending() so that they may be passed into end_io_acct() after free_io() is called. 2) Moving end_io_acct() after free_io().

GHSA-3C6V-88WH-34PH
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-23 18:31 – Updated: 2026-02-26 21:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: do not write to msg_get_inq in callee
NULL pointer dereference fix.
msg_get_inq is an input field from caller to callee. Don't set it in the callee, as the caller may not clear it on struct reuse.
This is a kernel-internal variant of msghdr only, and the only user does reinitialize the field. So this is not critical for that reason. But it is more robust to avoid the write, and slightly simpler code. And it fixes a bug, see below.
Callers set msg_get_inq to request the input queue length to be returned in msg_inq. This is equivalent to but independent from the SO_INQ request to return that same info as a cmsg (tp->recvmsg_inq). To reduce branching in the hot path the second also sets the msg_inq. That is WAI.
This is a fix to commit 4d1442979e4a ("af_unix: don't post cmsg for SO_INQ unless explicitly asked for"), which fixed the inverse.
Also avoid NULL pointer dereference in unix_stream_read_generic if state->msg is NULL and msg->msg_get_inq is written. A NULL state->msg can happen when splicing as of commit 2b514574f7e8 ("net: af_unix: implement splice for stream af_unix sockets").
Also collapse two branches using a bitwise or.

GHSA-3CJQ-W2M7-3294
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-07-09 12:31 – Updated: 2025-11-19 18:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix invalid inode pointer dereferences during log replay
In a few places where we call read_one_inode(), if we get a NULL pointer we end up jumping into an error path, or fallthrough in case of __add_inode_ref(), where we then do something like this:
iput(&inode->vfs_inode);
which results in an invalid inode pointer that triggers an invalid memory access, resulting in a crash.
Fix this by making sure we don't do such dereferences.

Mitigation MIT-56
For any pointers that could have been modified or provided from a function that can return NULL, check the pointer for NULL before use. When working with a multithreaded or otherwise asynchronous environment, ensure that proper locking APIs are used to lock before the check, and unlock when it has finished [REF-1484].
Mitigation
Select a programming language that is not susceptible to these issues.
Mitigation
Check the results of all functions that return a value and verify that the value is non-null before acting upon it.
Mitigation
Identify all variables and data stores that receive information from external sources, and apply input validation to make sure that they are only initialized to expected values.
Mitigation
Explicitly initialize all variables and other data stores, either during declaration or just before the first usage.
