Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: marvell: prestera: fix incorrect structure access<br />
<br />
In line:<br />
upper = info->upper_dev;<br />
We access upper_dev field, which is related only for particular events<br />
(e.g. event == NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER). So, this line cause invalid memory<br />
access for another events,<br />
when ptr is not netdev_notifier_changeupper_info.<br />
<br />
The KASAN logs are as follows:<br />
