In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm-stats: fix a crash if allocation of per-cpu data fails
If "dm kvzalloc(percpu alloc size, cpu to node(cpu))" fails, the code
jumps to the "out" label and calls dm stat free. dm stat free does
"for each possible cpu(cpu) { dm kvfree(s->stat percpu[cpu][0].histogram,
s->histogram alloc size);", which crashes with NULL pointer dereference
if s->stat percpu[cpu] is NULL.
This commit fixes the bug by testing s->stat percpu[cpu] for NULL before
using it.
