NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-headers package and not the kernel-headers package as distributed by RHEL.

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

mount: handle NULL values in mnt_ns_release()

When calling in listmount() mnt_ns_release() may be passed a NULL pointer. Handle that case gracefully.
