CVE-2024-46677
MEDIUMLinux Kernel 4.12-6.10.7 - NULL Pointer Dereference in GTP Encapsulation
Title source: llmDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gtp: fix a potential NULL pointer dereference When sockfd_lookup() fails, gtp_encap_enable_socket() returns a NULL pointer, but its callers only check for error pointers thus miss the NULL pointer case. Fix it by returning an error pointer with the error code carried from sockfd_lookup(). (I found this bug during code inspection.)
