| A flaw has been found in IOBit Uninstaller 15.5.0.11. Affected by this issue is the function sub_11838 of the file IURegistryFilter.sys of the component IOCTL Dispatch Handler. This manipulation causes null pointer dereference. The attack requires local access. The exploit has been published and may be used. Identical IURegistryFilter.sys ships across multiple IObit families. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iomap: don't free integrity payload that doesn't exist
fs_bio_integrity_alloc might not allocate a bio integrity payload if PI
verification is disabled on the block device. Check for that case before
calling fs_bio_integrity_free in iomap_bio_read_folio_range_sync to
avoid a NULL pointer dereferences.
Make the branch cover the PI verification as well - while
fs_bio_integrity_verify works without an integrity payload, it requires
one to actually do useful work. |

usb: gadget: uvc: Fix null pointer dereference in uvcg_video_init()
In uvcg_video_init(), if kthread_run_worker() fails,
the error logged uses uvcg_err(), however, the pointer it uses:
video->uvc is not assigned at this point, triggering a null
pointer dereference. Fix this by directly using uvc->func which
is assigned already. |
| Null pointer dereference in Windows Biometric Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Issue summary: OpenSSL CMP password based protection verification only
checks whether the protectionAlg parameter was not NULL and not its
ASN.1 type, before treating it as a PBMParameter. A crafted message can
contain a parameter of a different type, which is then dereferenced as an
invalid pointer.
Impact summary: A remote, unauthenticated attacker can crash an application
acting as a CMP server that accepts PBM-protected messages, or a CMP client
talking to a malicious or intercepted CMP server, resulting in a Denial of
Service.
CWE: CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference
Description: When verifying the password-based MAC protection of a CMP
message, OpenSSL library reads the protectionAlg algorithm parameter with
X509_ALGOR_get0(), which returns both the parameter type and its value
pointer. The value is then cast to an ASN1_STRING and treated as the
expected PBMParameter after only checking that pointer is not NULL. The
parameter type returned by X509_ALGOR_get0() was never consulted.
This happens during protection verification, before any MAC is computed, so
no knowledge of the PBM shared secret is required; the only precondition is
that PBM verification is reachable. On the server side this is reached from
OSSL_CMP_SRV_process_request() for any application that stands up a CMP
server accepting PBM-protected messages, and on the client side from CMP
response validation against a malicious or on-path (MITM) server. The
reliable consequence is a denial of service; there is no memory disclosure,
no controlled memory write, and no path to code execution. CMP is a
specialized feature that an application must explicitly enable.
FIPS impact: no
As the CMP code lives outside the FIPS module boundary, no FIPS modules
are affected by this CVE. |
| Issue summary: In a server or client configuration with RFC7250 Raw Public Keys (RPKs)
enabled, and only the private key (with no associated certificate) configured locally,
a NULL pointer dereference may occur when the remote peer solicits raw public keys and
also sends the typically omitted "signature_algorithms_cert" TLS extension.
Impact summary: The impact is limited to a possible Denial of Service as a result of
an application abort, no data disclosure or remote command execution are possible.
CWE: CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference
Description: While a passing comment in sample code in the documentation suggests
that key-only RPK configurations are supported, the best-practice RPK configuration
is to always configure a corresponding certificate (possibly self-signed or
signed by any convenient CA).
When the private key is configured along with a matching certificate, the
"signature_algorithms_cert" extension is handled reliably even without the
fix, and peer clients or servers that don't support raw public keys may be
able to complete a TLS connection by pinning or verifying the corresponding
certificate or its public key.
Deployments that prefer to configure just a private key with no certificate
need to upgrade to an updated release as noted below.
FIPS impact: no
No FIPS modules are affected by this issue, as the SSL protocol implementation
is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
zram: set default primary compressor in zram_destroy_comps()
Patch series "zram: fix zram issues reported by sashiko".
Sashiko drove by and reported [1] a couple of zram issues:
a possible BUG_ON() in zlib code due to missing winbits range
validation and one possible NULL-ptr dereference in zcomp.
Both are low risk yet still worth fixing.
This patch (of 2):
zram_destroy_comps() resets all compressors and leaves them set to NULL,
including the primary one, which is invalid device state, as now
comp_algorithm_show()->strcmp() can be called on a NULL compressor. Set
default primary compressor in zram_destroy_comps(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/rocket: fix NULL dereference and integer overflow in rocket_job_push()
rocket_job_push() allocates a temporary array to hold all input and
output GEM object pointers:
bos = kvmalloc_array(job->in_bo_count + job->out_bo_count,
sizeof(void *), GFP_KERNEL);
memcpy(bos, job->in_bos, job->in_bo_count * sizeof(void *));
memcpy(&bos[job->in_bo_count], job->out_bos, ...);
Two bugs exist:
1. Missing NULL check: if kvmalloc_array() fails, bos is NULL and
the subsequent memcpy() dereferences it, causing a kernel NULL
pointer dereference.
2. Integer overflow: in_bo_count and out_bo_count are both u32, set
directly from userspace-supplied in_bo_handle_count and
out_bo_handle_count with no prior validation. Their sum is computed
in u32 arithmetic and can wrap to a smaller value, causing the
allocation count passed to kvmalloc_array() to be smaller than
intended. Subsequent uses still operate on the original counts when
copying and locking objects, which may lead to out-of-bounds accesses
on the temporary array.
Fix by using check_add_overflow() to detect count overflow before the
allocation, and adding a NULL check on the allocation result. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/rocket: initialize job domain before cleanup paths
rocket_ioctl_submit_job() releases rjob through rocket_job_put() on
allocation error paths. rocket_job_cleanup() unconditionally calls
rocket_iommu_domain_put(job->domain), but job->domain is assigned only
after task copying and BO lookups. A failure before that assignment can
therefore clean up a job with a NULL domain pointer.
Take the per-file domain reference before the first error path can release
rjob. Also clear rjob->tasks after freeing it in rocket_copy_tasks(), so
the common cleanup path cannot free the task array again after a task-copy
error. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
params: fix charp corruption on allocation failure
param_set_charp() stores charp parameters in allocated memory after slab is
available, and releases the previous value when the parameter is updated.
The previous value is released before the replacement allocation succeeds.
If kmalloc_parameter() fails, the setter returns -ENOMEM with the parameter
left as NULL.
Failing zswap's compressor update before zswap is initialized can later
trigger:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
RIP: 0010:strcmp+0x10/0x30

Allocate and copy the replacement first, then replace the parameter value
only after allocation succeeds. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched_ext: Fix rq->core_pick corruption under core scheduling
Core scheduling's pick_next_task() picks what to run on every SMT sibling of
the core in a single pass under the shared core-wide rq lock. The selection
state is consistent only while the lock is held continuously, so
->pick_task() originally could not release it. However, since 4c95380701f5
("sched/ext: Fold balance_scx() into pick_task_scx()"), sched_ext runs
dispatch from inside the pick and dispatching can drop the rq lock. To
support this, pick_next_task() has been updated to restart the whole
selection when a pick returns RETRY_TASK after releasing the lock.
When selections on the same core interleave through the dropped lock, they
corrupt each other's state: one clears the other's rq->core_pick leading to
a NULL deref, or invalidates its keep-the-previous-task decision leaving a
dequeued task running, which deadlocks the next wakeup and matches the
reported hard hangs. A cookied ping-pong load on an SMT machine makes the
interleavings frequent and kills the kernel within seconds.
Fix it by making the pick return RETRY_TASK whenever dispatch released the
rq lock, so that a selection only ever commits picks made under a
continuously held lock. The previous patch's rq->scx.lock_drop_seq counts
the releases. A dispatch that touched nothing never releases the lock and
its verdict, including "nothing to run", stands: retries are bounded, each
following a dispatch that actually did something, and an idle CPU does not
loop.
If another dispatch is already in flight on the rq, skip dispatching and
pick from what is already queued locally - the in-flight dispatch has
released the lock, so its own selection will retry and re-pick this rq,
while returning RETRY_TASK here would only spin on the lock that dispatch
needs to finish.
Balance callbacks must run in the context that queued them, so they can only
be queued on the CPU's own rq. When dispatching for another rq, run the
deferred work directly instead - that rq may consume all its picks through
the core-sched fast path and never queue the callback itself.
The put_prev_task_scx() warning about a runnable task being left behind
assumed that dispatch ran as part of the very pick that is switching away.
That now only holds on the non-core path, so gate it and drop the
cookie-match test, which is always true without core scheduling, from its
condition. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/ionic: Embed counter driver data in rdma_counter allocation
Commit 7e53b31acc7f ("RDMA/core: Create and destroy rdma_counter using
rdma_zalloc_drv_obj()") requires drivers implementing counter ops to
embed struct rdma_counter in a driver-specific struct, register its size
via INIT_RDMA_OBJ_SIZE, and provide a counter_init callback.
The ionic driver was merged without this adaptation, causing a NULL
pointer dereference in alloc_and_bind() since rdma_zalloc_drv_obj()
allocates zero bytes when size_rdma_counter is unset.
Consolidate struct ionic_counter into a new struct ionic_rdma_counter
that embeds struct rdma_counter, replace the xarray with a lightweight
ida for ID allocation, and add the required counter_init and
INIT_RDMA_OBJ_SIZE declarations. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/uverbs: Add UVERBS_ATTR_UHW to UVERBS_METHOD_REG_MR
The original commit missed that three drivers (mthca, irdma, siw) have UHW
data associated with reg_mr that cannot be passed through the ioctl. They
also assume that the udata cannot be NULL, so failing to pass a valid
udata can trigger a NULL udata crash in those drivers.
This never happens in real systems since in rdma-core ibv_cmd_reg_mr_ex()
does not accept a udata and those three drivers don't use it, however a
malicious userspace could trigger it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lockd: fix NULL dereference on lockowner allocation failure
nlmclnt_locks_init_private() installs NLM file lock operations even when
nlmclnt_find_lockowner() fails to allocate a lockowner. nlmclnt_proc()
then returns -ENOMEM, but the VFS still tears down the partially
initialized file_lock and calls locks_release_private().
That invokes nlmclnt_locks_release_private(), which dereferences
fl->fl_u.nfs_fl.owner and crashes because the owner was never installed.
Clear fl_ops before attempting to initialize the NLM private state, and
install the NLM lock operations only after a lockowner has been allocated
successfully. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/sva: Set handle->dev before the SVA handle is visible
iommu_attach_device_pasid() installs the new SVA attach handle in the
group PASID lookup before iommu_sva_bind_device() returns. A concurrent
bind can therefore find and reuse the same handle after iommu_sva_lock is
dropped.
handle->dev was initialized after dropping iommu_sva_lock. This leaves a
window where a racing bind can return a handle whose dev pointer is still
NULL. A subsequent iommu_sva_unbind_device() can then dereference it via
handle->dev->iommu_group.
Initialize handle->dev before releasing iommu_sva_lock so any visible SVA
handle is fully initialized. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: ISST: Add a NULL check for sst_inst[]
To be consistent with other places, add a NULL check for failed socket
loading by checking isst_common.sst_inst[]. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: phylink: correctly validate returned PCS in phylink_inband_caps
In phylink_inband_caps(), the PCS returned by mac_select_pcs is only
checked if NULL but mac_select_pcs can also return an error pointer.
This can cause a kernel panic as phylink_pcs_inband_caps() only checks
if passed PCS is not NULL and directly dereference ops from the phylink_pcs
struct.
Use the IS_ERR_OR_NULL macro to address both case where the returned
PCS can be NULL or an error pointer and prevent a kernel panic. |
| A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. This flaw allows an attacker to crash the Linux kernel by simulating amateur radio from the user space, resulting in a null-ptr-deref vulnerability and a use-after-free vulnerability. |
| SSH servers which use CertChecker as a public key callback without setting IsUserAuthority or IsHostAuthority could be caused to panic by a client presenting a certificate. CertChecker now returns an error instead of panicking when these callbacks are nil. |
| A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the Prism parser component of mruby 4.0.0. An attacker can provide a specially crafted Ruby source file that triggers the parser to pass a NULL pointer to nonnull string handling functions, resulting in undefined behavior and application crash. |
