About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: Fix null-ptr-deref when xps sysfs alloc failed
There is a null-ptr-deref when xps sysfs alloc failed: BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in sysfs_do_create_link_sd+0x40/0xd0 Read of size 8 at addr 0000000000000030 by task gssproxy/457
CPU: 5 PID: 457 Comm: gssproxy Not tainted 6.0.0-09040-g02357b27ee03 #9
Call Trace:
When the xprt_switch sysfs alloc failed, should not add xprt and switch sysfs to it, otherwise, maybe null-ptr-deref; also initialize the ‘xps_sysfs’ to NULL to avoid oops when destroy it.
