NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kselftests-kmp-default package and not the kselftests-kmp-default package as distributed by SLES.

An issue was discovered in dlpar_parse_cc_property in arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c in the Linux kernel through 5.1.6. There is an unchecked kstrdup of prop->name, which might allow an attacker to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash).
