Lifecycle Timeline
3Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ptp: ocp: Fix NULL dereference in Adva board SMA sysfs operations On Adva boards, SMA sysfs store/get operations can call __handle_signal_outputs() or __handle_signal_inputs() while the `irig` and `dcf` pointers are uninitialized, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in __handle_signal() and causing a kernel crash. Adva boards don't use `irig` or `dcf` functionality, so add Adva-specific callbacks `ptp_ocp_sma_adva_set_outputs()` and `ptp_ocp_sma_adva_set_inputs()` that avoid invoking `irig` or `dcf` input/output routines.
Analysis
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ptp: ocp: Fix NULL dereference in Adva board SMA sysfs operations On Adva boards, SMA sysfs store/get operations can call. 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 Context
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: ptp: ocp: Fix NULL dereference in Adva board SMA sysfs operations On Adva boards, SMA sysfs store/get operations can call __handle_signal_outputs() or __handle_signal_inputs() while the `irig` and `dcf` pointers are uninitialized, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in __handle_signal() and causing a kernel crash.

Affected products include: Linux Linux Kernel.
Affected Products
Linux Linux Kernel.
Remediation
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.
