CVE-2024-43906

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.50

Description The issue arises when user space sets an invalid ta type, resulting in an empty pointer context. To prevent dereferencing a null pointer, it is necessary to check the pointer context before using it.

Recommendations Update to Linux kernel version 6.6.50 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider adding checks for the pointer context before using it to prevent dereferencing a null pointer.
