NULL Pointer Dereference
Publication date:

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
arm64: Don&#39;t call NULL in do_compat_alignment_fixup()<br />
<br />
do_alignment_t32_to_handler() only fixes up alignment faults for<br />
specific instructions; it returns NULL otherwise (e.g. LDREX). When<br />
that&#39;s the case, signal to the caller that it needs to proceed with the<br />
regular alignment fault handling (i.e. SIGBUS). Without this patch, the<br />
kernel panics:<br />
<br />
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000<br />
