Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> sunrpc: fix null pointer dereference on zero-length checksum<br /> <br /> In xdr_stream_decode_opaque_auth(), zero-length checksum.len causes<br /> checksum.data to be set to NULL. This triggers a NPD when accessing<br /> checksum.data in gss_krb5_verify_mic_v2(). This patch ensures that<br /> the value of checksum.len is not less than XDR_UNIT.
