In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: bcm_vk: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences in bcm_vk_read()
In the function bcm_vk_read(), the pointer entry is checked, indicating
that it can be NULL. If entry is NULL and rc is set to -EMSGSIZE, the
following code may cause null-pointer dereferences:
struct vk_msg_blk tmp_msg = entry->to_h_msg[0];
set_msg_id(&tmp_msg, entry->usr_msg_id);
tmp_msg.size = entry->to_h_blks - 1;
To prevent these possible null-pointer dereferences, copy to_h_msg,
usr_msg_id, and to_h_blks from iter into temporary variables, and return
these temporary variables to the application instead of accessing them
through a potentially NULL entry.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's bcm_vk module. A null-pointer dereference can occur within the bcm_vk_read() function if a specific condition is met where a pointer entry is NULL and an error code -EMSGSIZE is returned. This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to cause system instability or a denial of service (DoS).
