In the Linux kernel before 5.16, tools/perf/util/expr.c lacks a check for the hashmap__new return value.
** DISPUTED ** In the Linux kernel before 6.2, mm/memory-tiers.c misinterprets the alloc_memory_type return value (expects it to be NULL in the error case, whereas it is actually an error pointer). NOTE: this is disputed by third parties because there are no realistic cases in which a user can cause the alloc_memory_type error case to be reached.
In the Linux kernel before 5.15.13, drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/steering/dr_domain.c misinterprets the mlx5_get_uars_page return value (expects it to be NULL in the error case, whereas it is actually an error pointer).
An infamous Chinese cyber-hacking team has extended its SysUpdate malware framework to target Linux systems.
libde265 v1.0.10 was discovered to contain a NULL pointer dereference in the put_unweighted_pred_16_fallback function at fallback-motion.cc. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted input file.
libde265 v1.0.10 was discovered to contain a NULL pointer dereference in the mc_chroma function at motion.cc. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted input file.
libde265 v1.0.10 was discovered to contain a NULL pointer dereference in the ff_hevc_put_weighted_pred_avg_8_sse function at sse-motion.cc. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted input file.
