FKIE_CVE-2021-47141

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-03-25 09:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 04:16
Severity
5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gve: Add NULL pointer checks when freeing irqs. When freeing notification blocks, we index priv->msix_vectors. If we failed to allocate priv->msix_vectors (see abort_with_msix_vectors) this could lead to a NULL pointer dereference if the driver is unloaded.
