Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm stats: check for and propagate alloc_percpu failure Check alloc_precpu()'s return value and return an error from dm_stats_init() if it fails. Update alloc_dev() to fail if dm_stats_init() does. Otherwise, a NULL pointer dereference will occur in dm_stats_cleanup() even if dm-stats isn't being actively used.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 3.12 < 4.14.312) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.15 < 4.19.280) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.20 < 5.4.240) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.177) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.105) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.22) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.2.9) • linux linux kernel 6.3
