CVE-2024-42235 - Linux Kernel s390 NULL Pointer Dereference Vulnerability

CVE ID : CVE-2024-42235 Published : Aug. 7, 2024, 4:15 p.m. | 1 hour, 14 minutes ago Description : 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.
