Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-04-08 18:34 – Updated: 2025-07-14 21:31
VLAI
Details
A local code execution vulnerability exists in the Rockwell Automation Arena® due to an uninitialized pointer. The flaw is result of improper validation of user-supplied data. If exploited a threat actor can disclose information and execute arbitrary code on the system. To exploit the vulnerability a legitimate user must open a malicious DOE file.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-10-29 03:31 – Updated: 2025-11-04 00:31
VLAI
Details
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix uninitialized pointer free in add_inode_ref()
The add_inode_ref() function does not initialize the "name" struct when it is declared. If any of the following calls to "read_one_inode() returns NULL,
dir = read_one_inode(root, parent_objectid);
if (!dir) {
ret = -ENOENT;
goto out;
}
inode = read_one_inode(root, inode_objectid);
if (!inode) {
ret = -EIO;
goto out;
}
then "name.name" would be freed on "out" before being initialized.
out: ... kfree(name.name);
This issue was reported by Coverity with CID 1526744.
