Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A NULL pointer dereference can occur in the
dasd release space() function. The issue arises because the function uses a logical AND operator when checking the implementation of the is ese() discipline function to determine if a device is an ESE DASD, causing the function to be called even if the function pointer is NULL.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
