MEDIUMLinux Kernel 5.9-5.10.96 5.11-5.15.19 5.16-5.16.5 - NULL Pointer Dereference in task_pt_regs
Title source: llmDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Guard against accessing NULL pt_regs in bpf_get_task_stack() task_pt_regs() can return NULL on powerpc for kernel threads. This is then used in __bpf_get_stack() to check for user mode, resulting in a kernel oops. Guard against this by checking return value of task_pt_regs() before trying to obtain the call chain.
