Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
SUNRPC: svcauth_gss: avoid NULL deref on zero length gss_token in gss_read_proxy_verf<br />
<br />
A zero length gss_token results in pages == 0 and in_token->pages[0]<br />
is NULL. The code unconditionally evaluates<br />
page_address(in_token->pages[0]) for the initial memcpy, which can<br />
dereference NULL even when the copy length is 0. Guard the first<br />
memcpy so it only runs when length > 0.
