If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mathias Krause commit 276bdb82dedb290511467a5a4fdbe9f0b52dce6f upstream. ccid_hc_rx_getsockopt() and ccid_hc_tx_getsockopt() might be called with a NULL ccid pointer leading to a NULL pointer dereference. This could lead to a privilege escalation if the attacker is able to map page 0 and prepare it with a fake ccid_ops pointer. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause Cc: Gerrit Renker Signed-off-by: David S.
