NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-tools package and not the kernel-tools package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gve: Add NULL pointer checks when freeing irqs.
When freeing notification blocks, we index priv->msix_vectors. If we failed to allocate priv->msix_vectors (see abort_with_msix_vectors) this could lead to a NULL pointer dereference if the driver is unloaded.
