CVE-2024-56773

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

Description A potential null dereference vulnerability has been resolved in the Linux kernel's kunit module. The issue occurs in the kunit device driver test() function, where kunit kzalloc() may return a NULL pointer. If this pointer is dereferenced without a NULL check, it can lead to a null dereference. To fix this, a NULL check has been added for test state.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
