Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
PM: hibernate: Fix crash when freeing invalid crypto compressor<br />
<br />
When crypto_alloc_acomp() fails, it returns an ERR_PTR value, not NULL.<br />
<br />
The cleanup code in save_compressed_image() and load_compressed_image()<br />
unconditionally calls crypto_free_acomp() without checking for ERR_PTR,<br />
which causes crypto_acomp_tfm() to dereference an invalid pointer and<br />
crash the kernel.<br />
<br />
This can be triggered when the compression algorithm is unavailable<br />
(e.g., CONFIG_CRYPTO_LZO not enabled).<br />
<br />
Fix by adding IS_ERR_OR_NULL() checks before calling crypto_free_acomp()<br />
and acomp_request_free(), similar to the existing kthread_stop() check.<br />
