VectorAV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux Kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the UNIX protocol in net/unix/diag.c, specifically in the unix diag get exact function. This issue arises because the newly allocated skb does not have sk, leading to a NULL pointer. As a result, a local user can crash the system or potentially cause a denial of service. The flaw is related to errors in pointer dereferencing, which can be exploited to disrupt service.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
