CVE-2022-49875
MEDIUMLinux Kernel 5.7-5.10.155, 5.11-5.15.79, 5.16-6.0.9 - NULL Pointer Dereference in bpftool Pin Command
Title source: llmDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpftool: Fix NULL pointer dereference when pin {PROG, MAP, LINK} without FILE When using bpftool to pin {PROG, MAP, LINK} without FILE, segmentation fault will occur. The reson is that the lack of FILE will cause strlen to trigger NULL pointer dereference. The corresponding stacktrace is shown below: do_pin do_pin_any do_pin_fd mount_bpffs_for_pin strlen(name) <- NULL pointer dereference Fix it by adding validation to the common process.
