Summary

In the Linux kernel, a NULL pointer dereference exists in __iodyn_find_io_region(). The result of pcmcia_make_resource() is assigned to res and used in pci_bus_alloc_resource() without checking, which could lead to a NULL pointer dereference on failure of pcmcia_make_resource().

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could be exploited by a local attacker to cause a system crash (denial of service) or potentially execute code in the kernel context.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix. Regular system updates are recommended.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pcmcia: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in __iodyn_find_io_region() In __iodyn_find_io_region(), pcmcia_make_resource() is assigned to res and used in pci_bus_alloc_resource(). There is a dereference of res in pci_bus_alloc_resource(), which could lead to a NULL pointer dereference on failure of pcmcia_make_resource(). Fix this bug by adding a check of res.
