Null Pointer Dereference in Linux Kernel Affecting Parisc Architecture

CVE-2022-50415

What is CVE-2022-50415?

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel for Parisc architecture involves a potential null pointer dereference during the execution of the start_task() function. This occurs when the create_singlethread_workqueue() function fails, resulting in a null return value that leads to dereferencing of a null pointer in subsequent calls, specifically when accessing workqueue flags. It is crucial to validate the return value to prevent this issue and ensure stable operation.
