  3. CVE-2023-53005
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: trace_events_hist: add check for return value of 'create_hist_field' Function 'create_hist_field' is called recursively at trace_events_hist.c:1954 and can return NULL-value that's why we have to check it to avoid null pointer dereference. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: trace_events_hist: se ha añadido una comprobación del valor de retorno de 'create_hist_field'. La función 'create_hist_field' se llama recursivamente en trace_events_hist.c:1954 y puede devolver un valor nulo. Por ello, es necesario comprobarla para evitar la desreferencia de punteros nulos. Encontrada por el Centro de Verificación de Linux (linuxtesting.org) con SVACE.
