Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

udplite: Fix null-ptr-deref in __udp_enqueue_schedule_skb().

syzbot reported null-ptr-deref of udp_sk(sk)->udp_prod_queue. [0]

Since the cited commit, udp_lib_init_sock() can fail, as can udp_init_sock() and udpv6_init_sock().

Let's handle the error in udplite_sk_init() and udplitev6_sk_init().

GHSA-VQPV-2JR8-2HMP

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-08 15:31 – Updated: 2026-05-15 15:30
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/panel: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in jdi_panel_dsi_remove()

In jdi_panel_dsi_remove(), jdi is explicitly checked, indicating that it may be NULL:

if (!jdi) mipi_dsi_detach(dsi);

However, when jdi is NULL, the function does not return and continues by calling jdi_panel_disable():

err = jdi_panel_disable(&jdi->base);

Inside jdi_panel_disable(), jdi is dereferenced unconditionally, which can lead to a NULL-pointer dereference:

struct jdi_panel *jdi = to_panel_jdi(panel); backlight_disable(jdi->backlight);

To prevent such a potential NULL-pointer dereference, return early from jdi_panel_dsi_remove() when jdi is NULL.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-03 18:31 – Updated: 2026-04-23 21:31
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

arm_mpam: Fix null pointer dereference when restoring bandwidth counters

When an MSC supporting memory bandwidth monitoring is brought offline and then online, mpam_restore_mbwu_state() calls __ris_msmon_read() via ipi to restore the configuration of the bandwidth counters. It doesn't care about the value read, mbwu_arg.val, and doesn't set it leading to a null pointer dereference when __ris_msmon_read() adds to it. This results in a kernel oops with a call trace such as:

Call trace: __ris_msmon_read+0x19c/0x64c (P) mpam_restore_mbwu_state+0xa0/0xe8 smp_call_on_cpu_callback+0x1c/0x38 process_one_work+0x154/0x4b4 worker_thread+0x188/0x310 kthread+0x11c/0x130 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20

Provide a local variable for val to avoid __ris_msmon_read() dereferencing a null pointer when adding to val.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-21 18:31 – Updated: 2025-01-06 21:30

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tls: fix NULL deref on tls_sw_splice_eof() with empty record

syzkaller discovered that if tls_sw_splice_eof() is executed as part of sendfile() when the plaintext/ciphertext sk_msg are empty, the send path gets confused because the empty ciphertext buffer does not have enough space for the encryption overhead. This causes tls_push_record() to go on the split = true path (which is only supposed to be used when interacting with an attached BPF program), and then get further confused and hit the tls_merge_open_record() path, which then assumes that there must be at least one populated buffer element, leading to a NULL deref.

It is possible to have empty plaintext/ciphertext buffers if we previously bailed from tls_sw_sendmsg_locked() via the tls_trim_both_msgs() path. tls_sw_push_pending_record() already handles this case correctly; let's do the same check in tls_sw_splice_eof().

Mitigation MIT-56
Implementation

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
Requirements

Select a programming language that is not susceptible to these issues.

Mitigation
Implementation

Check the results of all functions that return a value and verify that the value is non-null before acting upon it.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

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
Implementation

Explicitly initialize all variables and other data stores, either during declaration or just before the first usage.
