1DescriptionNVD
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem). This issue may allow a malicious user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to directly dereference a NULL pointer in xfrm_update_ae_params(), leading to a possible kernel crash and denial of service.
AnalysisAI
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem). Rated medium severity (CVSS 4.4), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-476), which allows attackers to crash the application by dereferencing a null pointer. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem). This issue may allow a malicious user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to directly dereference a NULL pointer in xfrm_update_ae_params(), leading to a possible kernel crash and denial of service. Affected products include: Redhat Enterprise Linux, Redhat Enterprise Linux For Real Time, Redhat Enterprise Linux For Real Time For Nfv, Fedoraproject Fedora, Linux Linux Kernel.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Check pointers before dereferencing. Use static analysis tools to detect null pointer paths.
