Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: eventfs: se corrige una posible desreferencia de puntero nulo en eventfs_find_events() En la función eventfs_find_events, existe un posible puntero nulo que puede deberse a la llamada a update_events_attr que realizará algunas operaciones en los miembros de la estructura ei cuando ei es NULL. Por lo tanto, cuando se establece ei->is_freed, se devuelve NULL directamente.
