In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/srpt: Support specifying the srpt_service_guid parameter
Make loading ib_srpt with this parameter set work. The current behavior is that setting that parameter while loading the ib_srpt kernel module triggers the following kernel crash:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 Call Trace: <TASK> parse_one+0x18c/0x1d0 parse_args+0xe1/0x230 load_module+0x8de/0xa60 init_module_from_file+0x8b/0xd0 idempotent_init_module+0x181/0x240 __x64_sys_finit_module+0x5a/0xb0 do_syscall_64+0x5f/0xe0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0x76
AnalysisAI
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/srpt: Support specifying the srpt_service_guid parameter Make loading ib_srpt with this parameter set work. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.5), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. This NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability could allow attackers to crash the application by dereferencing a null pointer.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-476), which allows attackers to crash the application by dereferencing a null pointer. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/srpt: Support specifying the srpt_service_guid parameter Make loading ib_srpt with this parameter set work. The current behavior is that setting that parameter while loading the ib_srpt kernel module triggers the following kernel crash: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 Call Trace: <TASK> parse_one+0x18c/0x1d0 parse_args+0xe1/0x230 load_module+0x8de/0xa60 init_module_from_file+0x8b/0xd0 idempotent_init_module+0x181/0x240 __x64_sys_finit_module+0x5a/0xb0 do_syscall_64+0x5f/0xe0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0x76 Affected products include: Linux Linux Kernel, Debian Debian Linux.
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Check pointers before dereferencing. Use static analysis tools to detect null pointer paths.
