FKIE_CVE-2024-35916

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-05-19 09:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 07:35
Severity
5.3 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dma-buf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in sanitycheck() If due to a memory allocation failure mock_chain() returns NULL, it is passed to dma_fence_enable_sw_signaling() resulting in NULL pointer dereference there. Call dma_fence_enable_sw_signaling() only if mock_chain() succeeds. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
