Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: svcauth_gss: avoid NULL deref on zero length gss_token in gss_read_proxy_verf
A zero length gss_token results in pages == 0 and in_token->pages[0]
is NULL. The code unconditionally evaluates
page_address(in_token->pages[0]) for the initial memcpy, which can
dereference NULL even when the copy length is 0. Guard the first
memcpy so it only runs when length > 0.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SUN Remote Procedure Call (SUNRPC) subsystem, specifically within the svcauth_gss module. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a zero-length Generic Security Service (GSS) token. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference in the gss_read_proxy_verf function, causing a system crash and resulting in a denial of service (DoS).
