In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxbf_gige: call request_irq() after NAPI initialized
The mlxbf_gige driver encounters a NULL pointer exception in mlxbf_gige_open() when kdump is enabled. The sequence to reproduce the exception is as follows: a) enable kdump b) trigger kdump via echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger c) kdump kernel executes d) kdump kernel loads mlxbf_gige module e) the mlxbf_gige module runs its open() as the the oob_net0 interface is brought up f) mlxbf_gige module will experience an exception during its open(), something like:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
