- Summary
- net/mlx5: DR, prevent potential error pointer dereference
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: DR, prevent potential error pointer dereference
The drdomainaddvportcap() function generally returns NULL on error but sometimes we want it to return ERRPTR(-EBUSY) so the caller can retry. The problem here is that "ret" can be either -EBUSY or -ENOMEM and if it's and -ENOMEM then the error pointer is propogated back and eventually dereferenced in drstev0buildsrcgvmiqpntag().
