Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-09-23 07:01:21 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: fix null deref for empty set

Blamed commit broke the check for a null scratch map:
  -  if (unlikely(!m || !*raw_cpu_ptr(m->scratch)))
  +  if (unlikely(!raw_cpu_ptr(m->scratch)))

This should have been "if (!*raw_ ...)".
Use the pattern of the avx2 version which is more readable.

This can only be reproduced if avx2 support isn't available.
