Syzkaller has reported a NULL pointer dereference when accessing rgd->rd_rgl in gfs2_rgrp_dump(). This can happen when creating rgd->rd_gl fails in read_rindex_entry(). Add a NULL pointer check in gfs2_rgrp_dump() to prevent that.

GHSA-2V26-28RG-WHVC
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-21 15:31 – Updated: 2024-12-23 21:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (w83792d) Fix NULL pointer dereference by removing unnecessary structure field
If driver read val value sufficient for (val & 0x08) && (!(val & 0x80)) && ((val & 0x7) == ((val >> 4) & 0x7)) from device then Null pointer dereference occurs. (It is possible if tmp = 0b0xyz1xyz, where same literals mean same numbers) Also lm75[] does not serve a purpose anymore after switching to devm_i2c_new_dummy_device() in w83791d_detect_subclients().
The patch fixes possible NULL pointer dereference by removing lm75[].
Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

Pass the correct list head to list_for_each_entry*() when looping through the packet list.
Without this patch, reading the packet data via sysfs will show the data incorrectly (because it starts at the wrong packet), and clearing the packet list will result in a NULL pointer dereference.

Mitigation MIT-56
For any pointers that could have been modified or provided from a function that can return NULL, check the pointer for NULL before use. When working with a multithreaded or otherwise asynchronous environment, ensure that proper locking APIs are used to lock before the check, and unlock when it has finished [REF-1484].
Mitigation
Select a programming language that is not susceptible to these issues.
Mitigation
Check the results of all functions that return a value and verify that the value is non-null before acting upon it.
Mitigation
Identify all variables and data stores that receive information from external sources, and apply input validation to make sure that they are only initialized to expected values.
Mitigation
Explicitly initialize all variables and other data stores, either during declaration or just before the first usage.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
