Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2022-48728
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description:
The issue is related to a NULL pointer dereference in the IB/hfi1 component of the Linux kernel. An early failure in `hfi1 ipoib setup rn()` can lead to a panic due to a NULL dereference when `hfi1 ipoib netdev dtor()` is called. The functions `hfi1 ipoib txreq init()` and `hfi1 ipoib rxq init()` are self-unwinding, and the fix involves adjusting the error paths accordingly. Other changes include deleting `hfi1 ipoib free rdma netdev()` and moving the switch to accelerated entrances to the success path.
Recommendations:
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
