Summary

In the Linux kernel, the Marvell Prestera network driver has a vulnerability due to incorrect structure access. The code accesses the upper_dev field, which is relevant only for specific events, leading to invalid memory access.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could lead to information disclosure or system crash, potentially compromising confidentiality and availability.

Recommendation

It is recommended to apply the Linux kernel patch that restricts access to the upper_dev field to appropriate events only.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: marvell: prestera: fix incorrect structure access In line: upper = info->upper_dev; We access upper_dev field, which is related only for particular events (e.g. event == NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER). So, this line cause invalid memory access for another events, when ptr is not netdev_notifier_changeupper_info.
