Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/core: Fix null-ptr-deref in ib_core_cleanup() KASAN reported a null-ptr-deref error: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000118-0x000000000000011f] CPU: 1 PID: 379 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) RIP: 0010:destroy_workqueue+0x2f/0x740 RSP: 0018:ffff888016137df8 EFLAGS: 00000202 ...
