tty: synclink_gt: Fix null-pointer-dereference in slgt_clean()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tty: synclink_gt: Fix null-pointer-dereference in slgt_clean() When the driver fails at alloc_hdlcdev(), and then we remove the driver module, we will get the following splat: [ 25.065966] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000182: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI [ 25.066914] KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000c10-0x0000000000000c17] [ 25.069262] RIP: 0010:detach_hdlc_protocol+0x2a/0x3e0 [ 25.077709] Call Trace: [ 25.077924] <TASK> [ 25.078108] unregister_hdlc_device+0x16/0x30 [ 25.078481] slgt_cleanup+0x157/0x9f0 [synclink_gt] Fix this by checking whether the 'info->netdev' is a null pointer first.

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.

EPSS, last 120 days

FIRST EPSS daily score; only changes of 0.01 or more are recorded (step chart).

Patch and commit links

Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.

No commit or PR link among the references.

Credits

All researchers

Finders, reporters and analysts named in the CNA record. Click a name for that researcher’s other records.

No credits in the CNA record.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.

Bug bounty scope

No known public program.

Technical details

Attack conditions

  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it.
  • A low-privileged account is enough.
  • No user action is required.
