Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm: Fix potential null-ptr-deref due to drmm_mode_config_init() drmm_mode_config_init() will call drm_mode_create_standard_properties() and won't check the ret value. When drm_mode_create_standard_properties() failed due to alloc, property will be a NULL pointer and may causes the null-ptr-deref. Fix the null-ptr-deref by adding the ret value check. Found null-ptr-deref while testing insert module bochs: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc000000000c: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000060-0x0000000000000067] CPU: 3 PID: 249 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 6.1.0-rc1+ #364 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.15.0-0-g2dd4b9b3f840-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:drm_object_attach_property+0x73/0x3c0 [drm] Call Trace: <TASK> __drm_connector_init+0xb6c/0x1100 [drm] bochs_pci_probe.cold.11+0x4cb/0x7fe [bochs] pci_device_probe+0x17d/0x340 really_probe+0x1db/0x5d0 __driver_probe_device+0x1e7/0x250 driver_probe_device+0x4a/0x120 __driver_attach+0xcd/0x2c0 bus_for_each_dev+0x11a/0x1b0 bus_add_driver+0x3d7/0x500 driver_register+0x18e/0x320 do_one_initcall+0xc4/0x3e0 do_init_module+0x1b4/0x630 load_module+0x5dca/0x7230 __do_sys_finit_module+0x100/0x170 do_syscall_64+0x3f/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd RIP: 0033:0x7ff65af9f839

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Sightings

Author Source Type Date Other

Nomenclature

  • Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
  • Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
  • Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
  • Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
  • Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
