RaTasha Tillery-Smith 2023-07-10 13:28:30 UTC Doc Text A null pointer dereference vulnerability was found in netlink_dump, which could cause a denial of service or possibly other unspecified impact. It can happen when the Netlink socket receives the message(sendmsg), for the XFRM_MSG_GETSA, XFRM_MSG_GETPOLICY type message and the DUMP flag is set. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely. A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in netlink_dump.
