How to fix?

Upgrade AlmaLinux:9 kernel-devel-matched to version 0:5.14.0-427.28.1.el9_4 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALSA-2024:4928.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-devel-matched package and not the kernel-devel-matched package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfp: flower: handle acti_netdevs allocation failure

The kmalloc_array() in nfp_fl_lag_do_work() will return null, if the physical memory has run out. As a result, if we dereference the acti_netdevs, the null pointer dereference bugs will happen.

This patch adds a check to judge whether allocation failure occurs. If it happens, the delayed work will be rescheduled and try again.
