- Summary
- staging: greybus: lights: avoid NULL deref
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: greybus: lights: avoid NULL deref
gblightslightconfig() stores channelcount before allocating the channels array. If kcalloc() fails, gblightsrelease() iterates the non-zero count and dereferences light->channels, which is NULL.
Allocate channels first and only then publish channels_count so the cleanup path can't walk a NULL pointer.
