Threats tagged 'ghsa-rxmp-73hh-6v66'

A high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's sxgbe network driver involves a potential NULL pointer dereference in the sxgbe_rx() function. When the skb pointer is null, the driver logs an error but then dereferences skb without proper handling, leading to a possible denial of service. The issue was identified during a code review and fixed by adding a break statement after the error message to avoid dereferencing null pointers, aligning with approaches used in similar drivers.
