2) NULL pointer dereference
EUVDB-ID: #VU19995
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 4.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11810
CWE-ID:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when megasas_create_frame_pool() fails in megasas_alloc_cmds() in drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
