CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/476.html

The rds_ib_laddr_check function in net/rds/ib.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a bind system call for an RDS socket on a system that lacks RDS transports.

Weakness

The product dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid but is NULL.
