Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The Linux kernel contains an issue in the i40e driver where an invalid memory access could occur when the MAC list is empty. The
list first entry() function does not return NULL, potentially leading to dereferencing an invalid object if the list is empty. This was addressed by using list first entry or null instead of list first entry().Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
