In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc, afs: Fix missing error pointer check after rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer()
rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer() can also return error pointers in addition to
NULL, so just checking for NULL is not sufficient.
Fix this by:
(1) Changing rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer() to return -ENOMEM rather than NULL
on allocation failure.
(2) Making the callers in afs use IS_ERR() and PTR_ERR() to pass on the
error code returned.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's rxrpc and afs components. The rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer() function, which is responsible for looking up remote procedure call (RPC) peers, can return error pointers that were not properly checked by its callers in the afs (Andrew File System) component. This improper error handling could potentially lead to system instability or a denial of service (DoS) condition.
Отчет
Red Hat acknowledges the upstream Linux kernel correction for «rxrpc, afs» as described in COMMENT_ZERO. Fixes are delivered through standard kernel errata for supported products. Operational exposure depends on whether this subsystem or driver is active in your configuration.
