kernel: local dos vulnerability in scatterwalk_copychunks

A null pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel API for the cryptographic algorithm scatterwalk functionality. This issue occurs when a user constructs a malicious packet with specific socket configuration, which could allow a local user to crash the system or escalate their...

The vulnerability of the `scatterwalk_copychunks()` function in the `net/tls/tls_sw.c` module of the Linux kernel’s cryptographic subsystem allows a attacker to induce a service failure or gain enhanced privileges.

The vulnerability of the scatterwalkcopychunks function in the net/tls/tlssw.c module of the Linux kernel’s cryptographic subsystem is related to the assignment of a null pointer. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to trigger a service failure or increase their privileges...
