Summary

In the Linux kernel, ISST lacked a NULL check for isst_common.sst_inst[] on failed socket loading, potentially leading to a NULL dereference. The fix adds a NULL check for consistency with other places.

Risk Assessment

A NULL dereference in ISST can cause kernel crashes (denial of service). Requires local access to the ISST interface.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix. Restrict access to ISST interfaces for unprivileged users.
