NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-4_12_14-150_47-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-4_12_14-150_47-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the AppleTalk subsystem in the Linux kernel before 5.1, there is a potential NULL pointer dereference because register_snap_client may return NULL. This will lead to denial of service in net/appletalk/aarp.c and net/appletalk/ddp.c, as demonstrated by unregister_snap_client, aka CID-9804501fa122.
