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: The issue is related to a null pointer dereference in the zynq component of the Linux kernel. This occurs when the kmalloc() function in zynq clk setup() returns null due to physical memory running out, and then snprintf() is used to write data to the null address. The patch for this issue uses a stack variable to replace the kmalloc().
Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
