In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ata: libata-transport: fix error handling in ata_tdev_add() In ata_tdev_add(), the return value of transport_add_device() is not checked. As a result, it causes null-ptr-deref while removing the module, because transport_remove_device() is called to remove the device that was not added.

In the error path, device_del() is called to delete the device which was added earlier in this function, and ata_tdev_free() is called to free ata_dev.
Отчет
The patch fixes a potential NULL pointer dereference in ata_tdev_add() by properly checking the return value of transport_add_device(). Without this check, removal of a partially added device could trigger a crash during module unload. The Privilege Required for CVSS is Low, because the bug can be triggered by unloading a kernel module, which may be allowed for local users with sufficient permissions (e.g., via modprobe or rmmod in sandboxed or privileged environments).
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent module libata from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
