Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A NULL pointer dereference issue has been identified in the Linux kernel, specifically in the nixge hw dma bd release() function. This issue arises when the allocation of priv->rx bd v fails in the nixge hw dma bd init() function, allowing for a potential NULL pointer dereference. To address this, the for() loop with the priv->rx bd v dereference has been moved under a check for its validity. This issue was discovered by the Linux Verification Center with SVACE.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
