GHSA-55JJ-QFP9-6XV9
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-23 06:31 – Updated: 2026-01-23 06:31A flaw was found in SIPp. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending specially crafted Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) messages during an active call. This vulnerability, a NULL pointer dereference, can cause the application to crash, leading to a denial of service. Under specific conditions, it may also allow an attacker to execute unauthorized code, compromising the system's integrity and availability.

drm/bridge: megachips: Fix a null pointer dereference bug

The two bridges (stdp2690, stdp4028) do not probe at the same time, so the driver does not call ge_b850v3_resgiter() when probing, causing the driver to try to remove the object that has not been initialized.
Fix this by checking whether both the bridges are probed.

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.
