Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.58
Description:
The issue is a null pointer dereference in the
commit planes for stream function at line 4140, which could occur when top pipe to program is null. The fix adds a check to ensure top pipe to program is not null before accessing its stream res, preventing a null pointer dereference. This issue was reported by smatch.Recommendations:
For Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.58, update to version 6.6.58 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider adding a null check for
top pipe to program in the commit planes for stream function to prevent null pointer dereferences.Exploit
