Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-12-27 15:31 – Updated: 2025-01-08 18:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btmtk: adjust the position to init iso data anchor
MediaTek iso data anchor init should be moved to where MediaTek claims iso data interface. If there is an unexpected BT usb disconnect during setup flow, it will cause a NULL pointer crash issue when releasing iso anchor since the anchor wasn't been init yet. Adjust the position to do iso data anchor init.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-04-08 09:31 – Updated: 2025-10-28 18:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dpll: fix xa_alloc_cyclic() error handling
In case of returning 1 from xa_alloc_cyclic() (wrapping) ERR_PTR(1) will be returned, which will cause IS_ERR() to be false. Which can lead to dereference not allocated pointer (pin).
Fix it by checking if err is lower than zero.
This wasn't found in real usecase, only noticed. Credit to Pierre.

GHSA-8C2J-63GQ-X4JC
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-10-07 18:31 – Updated: 2026-02-03 18:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/handshake: fix null-ptr-deref in handshake_nl_done_doit()
We should not call trace_handshake_cmd_done_err() if socket lookup has failed.
Also we should call trace_handshake_cmd_done_err() before releasing the file, otherwise dereferencing sock->sk can return garbage.
This also reverts 7afc6d0a107f ("net/handshake: Fix uninitialized local variable")

GHSA-8C3V-5V6W-588P
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-06 12:30 – Updated: 2026-06-01 18:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ixgbevf: add missing negotiate_features op to Hyper-V ops table
Commit a7075f501bd3 ("ixgbevf: fix mailbox API compatibility by negotiating supported features") added the .negotiate_features callback to ixgbe_mac_operations and populated it in ixgbevf_mac_ops, but forgot to add it to ixgbevf_hv_mac_ops. This leaves the function pointer NULL on Hyper-V VMs.
During probe, ixgbevf_negotiate_api() calls ixgbevf_set_features(), which unconditionally dereferences hw->mac.ops.negotiate_features(). On Hyper-V this results in a NULL pointer dereference:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 [...] Hardware name: Microsoft Corporation Virtual Machine/Virtual Machine [...] Workqueue: events work_for_cpu_fn RIP: 0010:0x0 [...] Call Trace: ixgbevf_negotiate_api+0x66/0x160 [ixgbevf] ixgbevf_sw_init+0xe4/0x1f0 [ixgbevf] ixgbevf_probe+0x20f/0x4a0 [ixgbevf] local_pci_probe+0x50/0xa0 work_for_cpu_fn+0x1a/0x30 [...]
Add ixgbevf_hv_negotiate_features_vf() that returns -EOPNOTSUPP and wire it into ixgbevf_hv_mac_ops. The caller already handles -EOPNOTSUPP gracefully.

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.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
