Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux Kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description A Null pointer dereference problem was found in the ida free() function in the lib/idr.c file of the Linux Kernel. This issue may allow an attacker using this library to cause a denial of service problem due to a missing check at a function return. The problem occurs when the xas load function returns a null value, assigning NULL to the bitmap variable.
