CVE-2026-43463
Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc, afs: Fix missing error pointer check after rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer()
rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer() can also return error pointers in addition to NULL, so just checking for NULL is not sufficient.
Fix this by:
Detalles técnicos trazas, registros y código del informe original
(1) Changing rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer() to return -ENOMEM rather than NULL
on allocation failure.
(2) Making the callers in afs use IS_ERR() and PTR_ERR() to pass on the
error code returned.CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
