- Summary
- gve: add missing NULL check for gve_alloc_pending_packet() in TX DQO
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gve: add missing NULL check for gveallocpending_packet() in TX DQO
gveallocpendingpacket() can return NULL, but gvetxaddskb_dqo() did not check for this case before dereferencing the returned pointer.
Add a missing NULL check to prevent a potential NULL pointer dereference when allocation fails.
This improves robustness in low-memory scenarios.
