NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k-modules-partner package and not the kernel-64k-modules-partner package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

afs: Fix potential null pointer dereference in afs_put_server

afs_put_server() accessed server->debug_id before the NULL check, which could lead to a null pointer dereference. Move the debug_id assignment, ensuring we never dereference a NULL server pointer.
