CVE-2024-42235
MEDIUMLinux Kernel 6.6-6.6.40, 6.6.41-6.9.9, 6.9.10-6.10 - NULL Pointer Dereference in crst_table_free
Title source: llmDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/mm: Add NULL pointer check to crst_table_free() base_crst_free() crst_table_free() used to work with NULL pointers before the conversion to ptdescs. Since crst_table_free() can be called with a NULL pointer (error handling in crst_table_upgrade() add an explicit check. Also add the same check to base_crst_free() for consistency reasons. In real life this should not happen, since order two GFP_KERNEL allocations will not fail, unless FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC is enabled and used.
