InDesign Desktop versions 21.3, 20.5.3 and earlier are affected by a NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability that could result in an application denial-of-service. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to crash the application, leading to a denial-of-service condition. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

Null pointer dereference in Windows Kerberos allows an authorized attacker to deny service over a network.

Issue summary: An attacker-controlled CMP (Certificate Management Protocol) server could trigger a NULL pointer dereference in a CMP client application. Impact summary: A NULL pointer dereference causes a crash of the application and a Denial of Service. An attacker controlling a CMP server (or acting as a man-in-the-middle) could craft a CMP response containing a CRMF (Certificate Request Message Format) CertRepMessage with an EncryptedValue structure where the symmAlg field has an algorithm OID but no parameters field. When the OpenSSL CMP client processes this response, the NULL dereference occurs, causing a crash of the CMP client. Applications that process untrusted CMP/CRMF messages may be affected. The FIPS modules in 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, and 3.0 are not affected by this issue, as the affected code is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.

Issue summary: A specially crafted password-encrypted CMS message can trigger a NULL pointer dereference during CMS decryption. Impact summary: This NULL pointer dereference leads to an application crash and a Denial of Service. The CMS PasswordRecipientInfo.keyDerivationAlgorithm field is defined as OPTIONAL in the ASN.1 specification and may therefore be absent in specially crafted inputs. During the password-based CMS decryption the OpenSSL CMS implementation dereferences this field without first checking whether it was present. An attacker who supplies such a CMS message to an application performing password-based CMS decryption can trigger an application crash, leading to a Denial of Service. Applications that process password-encrypted CMS messages may be affected. The FIPS modules in 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, and 3.0 are not affected by this issue, as the affected code is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: intel/ipu6: fix error pointer dereference In a error path isp->psys is confirmed to be an error pointer not NULL so this condition is true and the error pointer is dereferenced. So isp-psys should be set to NULL before going to out_ipu6_bus_del_devices. Detected by Smatch: drivers/media/pci/intel/ipu6/ipu6.c:690 ipu6_pci_probe() error: 'isp->psys' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR() [Sakari Ailus: Fix commit message.]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: renesas: vsp1: Fix NULL pointer deref on module unload When unloading the module on gen 4, we hit a NULL pointer dereference. This is caused by the cleanup code calling vsp1_drm_cleanup() where it should be calling vsp1_vspx_cleanup(). Fix this by checking the IP version and calling the drm or vspx function accordingly, the same way as the init code does.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: rtl8723bs: os_dep: avoid NULL pointer dereference in rtw_cbuf_alloc The return value of kzalloc_flex() is used without ensuring that the allocation succeeded, and the pointer is dereferenced unconditionally. Guard the access to the allocated structure to avoid a potential NULL pointer dereference if the allocation fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: s3c64xx: fix NULL-deref on driver unbind A change moving DMA channel allocation from probe() back to s3c64xx_spi_prepare_transfer() failed to remove the corresponding deallocation from remove(). Drop the bogus DMA channel release from remove() to avoid triggering a NULL-pointer dereference on driver unbind. This issue was flagged by Sashiko when reviewing a controller deregistration fix.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/hugetlb: fix early boot crash on parameters without '=' separator If hugepages, hugepagesz, or default_hugepagesz are specified on the kernel command line without the '=' separator, early parameter parsing passes NULL to hugetlb_add_param(), which dereferences it in strlen() and can crash the system during early boot. Reject NULL values in hugetlb_add_param() and return -EINVAL instead.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: frequency: admv1013: fix NULL pointer dereference on str When device_property_read_string() fails, str is left uninitialized but the code falls through to strcmp(str, ...), dereferencing a garbage pointer. Replace manual read/strcmp with device_property_match_property_string() and consolidate the SE mode enums into a single sequential enum, mapping to hardware register values via a switch consistent with other bitfields in the driver. Several cleanup patches have been applied to this driver recently so this will need a manual backport.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/imagination: Fix segfault when updating ftrace mask Fix invalid data access by passing right data for debugfs entry.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinctrl: canaan: k230: Fix NULL pointer dereference when parsing devicetree When probing the k230 pinctrl driver, the kernel triggers a NULL pointer dereference. The crash trace showed: [ 0.732084] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000068 [ 0.740737] ... [ 0.776296] epc : k230_pinctrl_probe+0x1be/0x4fc In k230_pinctrl_parse_functions(), we attempt to retrieve the device pointer via info->pctl_dev->dev, but info->pctl_dev is only initialized after k230_pinctrl_parse_dt() completes. At the time of DT parsing, info->pctl_dev is still NULL, leading to the invalid dereference of info->pctl_dev->dev. Use the already available device pointer from platform_device instead of accessing through uninitialized pctl_dev.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: wpcm-fiu: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in wpcm_fiu_probe() platform_get_resource_byname() can return NULL, which would cause a crash when passed the pointer to resource_size(). Move the fiu->memory_size assignment after the error check for devm_ioremap_resource() to prevent the potential NULL pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gpio: cdev: Avoid NULL dereference in linehandle_create() In linehandle_create(), there is a statement like this: retain_and_null_ptr(lh); Soon after, there is a debug printout that dereferences "lh", which will crash things. Avoid the crash by using handlereq.lines, which is the same value.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Fix dc_link NULL handling in HPD init amdgpu_dm_hpd_init() may see connectors without a valid dc_link. The code already checks dc_link for the polling decision, but later unconditionally dereferences it when setting up HPD interrupts. Assign dc_link early and skip connectors where it is NULL. Fixes the below: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm_irq.c:940 amdgpu_dm_hpd_init() error: we previously assumed 'dc_link' could be null (see line 931) drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm_irq.c 923 /* 924 * Analog connectors may be hot-plugged unlike other connector 925 * types that don't support HPD.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: endpoint: Add missing NULL check for alloc_workqueue() alloc_workqueue() can return NULL on memory allocation failure. Without proper error checking, this may lead to a NULL pointer dereference when queue_work() is later called with the NULL workqueue pointer in epf_ntb_epc_init(). Add a NULL check immediately after alloc_workqueue() and return -ENOMEM on failure to prevent the driver from loading with an invalid workqueue pointer.

A NULL pointer dereference in the gf_filter_pid_resolve_file_template_ex function (/filter_core/filter_pid.c) of GPAC Project/MP4Box before 26.02.0 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted file.

Improper input validation in the NI-PAL kernel driver may allow a local authenticated user to cause a denial of service by triggering a crash due to a NULL pointer dereference. This vulnerability affects NI-PAL 26.3.0 and prior versions on Windows and Linux.
