CVE-2024-46721 — apparmor: fix possible NULL pointer dereference

Affected: Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

apparmor: fix possible NULL pointer dereference

profile->parent->dents[AAFS_PROF_DIR] could be NULL only if its parent is made from __create_missing_ancestors(..) and 'ent->old' is NULL in aa_replace_profiles(..). In that case, it must return an error code and the code, -ENOENT represents its state that the path of its parent is not existed yet.

Ziming Zhang discovered that the VMware Virtual GPU DRM driver in the Linux kernel contained an integer overflow vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-36402)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - ARM64 architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - User-Mode Linux (UML); - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Android drivers; - Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers; - ATM drivers; - Drivers core; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - Device frequency scaling framework; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - InfiniBand drivers; - Input Device core drivers; - IOMMU subsystem; - IRQ chip drivers; - ISDN/mISDN subsystem; - LED subsystem; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - EEPROM drivers; - VMware VMCI Driver; - MMC subsystem; - Network drivers; - Near Field Communication (NFC) drivers; - NVME drivers; - Device tree and open firmware driver; - Parport drivers; - PCI subsystem; - Pin controllers subsystem; - Remote Processor subsystem; - S/390 drivers; - SCSI drivers; - QCOM SoC drivers; - Direct Digital Synthesis drivers; - TTY drivers; - Userspace I/O drivers; - DesignWare USB3 driver; - USB subsystem; - BTRFS file system; - File sy…
