GHSA-C783-64QQ-77VX

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-14 18:30 – Updated: 2026-03-17 21:31
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nvmet: fix race in nvmet_bio_done() leading to NULL pointer dereference

There is a race condition in nvmet_bio_done() that can cause a NULL pointer dereference in blk_cgroup_bio_start():

  1. nvmet_bio_done() is called when a bio completes
  2. nvmet_req_complete() is called, which invokes req->ops->queue_response(req)
  3. The queue_response callback can re-queue and re-submit the same request
  4. The re-submission reuses the same inline_bio from nvmet_req
  5. Meanwhile, nvmet_req_bio_put() (called after nvmet_req_complete) invokes bio_uninit() for inline_bio, which sets bio->bi_blkg to NULL
  6. The re-submitted bio enters submit_bio_noacct_nocheck()
  7. blk_cgroup_bio_start() dereferences bio->bi_blkg, causing a crash:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000028 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode RIP: 0010:blk_cgroup_bio_start+0x10/0xd0 Call Trace: submit_bio_noacct_nocheck+0x44/0x250 nvmet_bdev_execute_rw+0x254/0x370 [nvmet] process_one_work+0x193/0x3c0 worker_thread+0x281/0x3a0

Fix this by reordering nvmet_bio_done() to call nvmet_req_bio_put() BEFORE nvmet_req_complete(). This ensures the bio is cleaned up before the request can be re-submitted, preventing the race condition.

A NULL pointer dereference occurs in AP4_Track::GetSampleIndexForTimeStampMs() located in Core/Ap4Track.cpp. It can triggered by sending a crafted file to the mp4audioclip binary. It allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-18 18:30 – Updated: 2025-12-11 15:30

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/tunnel: wait until all sk_user_data reader finish before releasing the sock

There is a race condition in vxlan that when deleting a vxlan device during receiving packets, there is a possibility that the sock is released after getting vxlan_sock vs from sk_user_data. Then in later vxlan_ecn_decapsulate(), vxlan_get_sk_family() we will got NULL pointer dereference. e.g.

Mitigation MIT-56
Implementation

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
Requirements

Select a programming language that is not susceptible to these issues.

Mitigation
Implementation

Check the results of all functions that return a value and verify that the value is non-null before acting upon it.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

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
Implementation

Explicitly initialize all variables and other data stores, either during declaration or just before the first usage.
