| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check null pointers before multiple uses
[WHAT & HOW]
Poniters, such as stream_enc and dc->bw_vbios, are null checked previously
in the same function, so Coverity warns "implies that stream_enc and
dc->bw_vbios might be null". They are used multiple times in the
subsequent code and need to be checked.
This fixes 10 FORWARD_NULL issues reported by Coverity. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add null check for head_pipe in dcn32_acquire_idle_pipe_for_head_pipe_in_layer
This commit addresses a potential null pointer dereference issue in the
`dcn32_acquire_idle_pipe_for_head_pipe_in_layer` function. The issue
could occur when `head_pipe` is null.
The fix adds a check to ensure `head_pipe` is not null before asserting
it. If `head_pipe` is null, the function returns NULL to prevent a
potential null pointer dereference.
Reported by smatch:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/resource/dcn32/dcn32_resource.c:2690 dcn32_acquire_idle_pipe_for_head_pipe_in_layer() error: we previously assumed 'head_pipe' could be null (see line 2681) |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add missing NULL pointer check within dpcd_extend_address_range
[Why & How]
ASSERT if return NULL from kcalloc. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-test: Make use of cached 'epc_features' in pci_epf_test_core_init()
Instead of getting the epc_features from pci_epc_get_features() API, use
the cached pci_epf_test::epc_features value to avoid the NULL check. Since
the NULL check is already performed in pci_epf_test_bind(), having one more
check in pci_epf_test_core_init() is redundant and it is not possible to
hit the NULL pointer dereference.
Also with commit a01e7214bef9 ("PCI: endpoint: Remove "core_init_notifier"
flag"), 'epc_features' got dereferenced without the NULL check, leading to
the following false positive Smatch warning:
drivers/pci/endpoint/functions/pci-epf-test.c:784 pci_epf_test_core_init() error: we previously assumed 'epc_features' could be null (see line 747)
Thus, remove the redundant NULL check and also use the epc_features::
{msix_capable/msi_capable} flags directly to avoid local variables.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kvm: s390: Reject memory region operations for ucontrol VMs
This change rejects the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION and
KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2 ioctls when called on a ucontrol VM.
This is necessary since ucontrol VMs have kvm->arch.gmap set to 0 and
would thus result in a null pointer dereference further in.
Memory management needs to be performed in userspace and using the
ioctls KVM_S390_UCAS_MAP and KVM_S390_UCAS_UNMAP.
Also improve s390 specific documentation for KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION
and KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Fix improper extts handling
Extts events are disabled and enabled by the application ts2phc.
However, in case where the driver is removed when the application is
running, a specific extts event remains enabled and can cause a kernel
crash.
As a side effect, when the driver is reloaded and application is started
again, remaining extts event for the channel from a previous run will
keep firing and the message "extts on unexpected channel" might be
printed to the user.
To avoid that, extts events shall be disabled when PTP is released. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Don't process extts if PTP is disabled
The ice_ptp_extts_event() function can race with ice_ptp_release() and
result in a NULL pointer dereference which leads to a kernel panic.
Panic occurs because the ice_ptp_extts_event() function calls
ptp_clock_event() with a NULL pointer. The ice driver has already
released the PTP clock by the time the interrupt for the next external
timestamp event occurs.
To fix this, modify the ice_ptp_extts_event() function to check the
PTP state and bail early if PTP is not ready. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix netif state handling
mlx5e_suspend cleans resources only if netif_device_present() returns
true. However, mlx5e_resume changes the state of netif, via
mlx5e_nic_enable, only if reg_state == NETREG_REGISTERED.
In the below case, the above leads to NULL-ptr Oops[1] and memory
leaks:
mlx5e_probe
_mlx5e_resume
mlx5e_attach_netdev
mlx5e_nic_enable <-- netdev not reg, not calling netif_device_attach()
register_netdev <-- failed for some reason.
ERROR_FLOW:
_mlx5e_suspend <-- netif_device_present return false, resources aren't freed :(
Hence, clean resources in this case as well.

| A malicious SVG can trigger an integer overflow which in turn triggers a null-pointer dereference in VectorImage QML Type. |
| FreeRDP 3.0.0 before 3.32.0 contains a null-pointer dereference in the smartcard emulation backend that accepts a null per-reader name in SCardGetStatusChange requests. A malicious RDP server can send a crafted reader-state entry with a null szReader, causing strcmp or _wcscmp to crash the client process. |
| FreeRDP 3.0.0-beta4 before 3.32.0 contains a NULL pointer dereference in arm_handle_request_ok when an ARM endpoint returns an empty HTTP 200 body. Attackers controlling the configured ARM gateway can return a zero-length body to pass NULL to strnlen and crash the connecting client. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: mt7530: leave the MDIO IRQ mappings to regmap-irq
mt7530_remove_common() disposes the per-PHY interrupt mappings from
.remove, but the regmap-irq chip that owns the domain is devm-registered,
so its parent interrupt is only freed once .remove has returned. The
switch's own regmap-irq thread can therefore still dispatch on a mapping
that is already gone: irq_find_mapping() returns 0, irq_to_desc() returns
NULL and handle_nested_irq() locks desc->lock without checking it. The
attached PHYs have not given those interrupts back yet either, which the
kernel warns about a moment before the fault.
regmap_del_irq_chip() disposes the same mappings itself, after freeing the
parent interrupt and before removing the domain, so there is nothing left
for the driver to do here. Until it runs the descriptors stay alive, and a
late dispatch on one of them is harmless: dsa_unregister_switch() has freed
the PHY handlers by then, so handle_nested_irq() finds no action and
returns. |
| A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the license manager service could allow an unauthenticated attacker to crash the service via the rpc_rx_fsm function when msglen is set to 0. |
| The UpdateHub firmware-over-the-air client parses the CoAP probe response with Zephyr's JSON library in z_impl_updatehub_probe() (subsys/mgmt/updatehub/updatehub.c). The decoder treats every descriptor field as optional — json_obj_parse() returns a bitmask of the fields it actually decoded and never fails on a missing one — so a response that omits the "sha256sum" string leaves the corresponding const char * in the zero-initialised struct resp_probe_any_boards / struct resp_probe_some_boards at NULL. Both metadata branches then computed sha256size = strlen(...objects.sha256sum) + 1 before any validation, dereferencing that NULL pointer; the SHA256_HEX_DIGEST_SIZE test that follows operates on a value the bad read has already produced and cannot prevent it.
The metadata is supplied entirely by the network peer: probe_cb() accepts the datagram, runs coap_packet_parse() and copies the payload with no token matching and no cryptographic check. With CONFIG_UPDATEHUB_DTLS unset — the default — start_coap_client() uses plain CoAP over UDP on port 5683 with no peer authentication and resolves the server via unauthenticated DNS, so an on-path attacker, a DNS spoofer, or an off-path attacker who wins the race with a forged source address can deliver the malformed metadata. A probe response as simple as "objects":[[{}],[{}]] suffices, and no user interaction is required because updatehub_autohandler() polls on CONFIG_UPDATEHUB_POLL_INTERVAL. When CONFIG_UPDATEHUB_DTLS=y the trigger narrows to a malicious or compromised update server.
The primitive is a read at address zero, not a write, so the impact is availability only. On targets where the low address range is unmapped or protected — MMU-based architectures, builds with CONFIG_NULL_POINTER_EXCEPTION_DETECTION_DWT/_MPU/_PMP, TrustZone non-secure images, and SoCs such as nRF54L whose 0x0–0x400 window is unmapped — the load faults and Zephyr's default fatal handler halts the system, giving a remotely re-triggerable denial of service on every poll. On classic Cortex-M targets where the vector table is readable at address zero the walk usually terminates immediately and the request is rejected by the length check, so the outcome is configuration- and SoC-dependent. There is no memory write, and the copied bytes are only compared against the locally computed image hash, so there is no information-disclosure channel.
The fix adds an explicit sha256sum == NULL test that returns UPDATEHUB_METADATA_ERROR ahead of the strlen() in both metadata branches. Debug builds (CONFIG_UPDATEHUB_LOG_LEVEL=4) still format the same pointers with %s in a LOG_DBG() loop that runs before the new checks, so that variant remains in debug configurations only. |
| A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the license manager service could allow an unauthenticated attacker to crash the service via the on_disconnected callback function. |
| A NULL pointer dereference in the avpriv_h264_has_num_reorder_frames function of Ffmpeg version N-119856-gbe46370941 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via processing a crafted media file. |
| A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the license manager service could allow an unauthenticated attacker to crash the service via the rpc_rx_fsm function. |
| A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the logs management functionality could allow an unauthenticated attacker to crash the service. |
| Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 12.0.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow's Image.merge() can dereference a null image8 plane. Validation skips the first input band, allowing a 32-bit integer or floating-point image backed by image32 storage to be merged as a narrower multiband image. A crafted IPTC file can reach this path when an application opens and loads it, or a caller can invoke Image.merge() directly with such a first band. This causes a native process crash. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0. |
| Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 13.0.0, Pillow's rank-based filters can dereference invalid image storage for a zero-size image. ImagingExpand() allocates a non-empty output and then faults while replicating edges by reading the first pixel from empty input storage; ImagingRankFilter is never reached. An attacker can supply or cause creation of a zero-size image to an application that applies a rank, median, minimum, or maximum filter. This causes a native process crash. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0. |
