Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-476 NULL Pointer Dereference
Publication date:

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> crypto: rsa - add a check for allocation failure<br /> <br /> Static checkers insist that the mpi_alloc() allocation can fail so add<br /> a check to prevent a NULL dereference. Small allocations like this<br /> can&amp;#39;t actually fail in current kernels, but adding a check is very<br /> simple and makes the static checkers happy.
