CVE-2021-47486 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

riscv bpf: Fix potential NULL dereference

The bpf_jit_binary_free() function requires a non-NULL argument. When the RISC-V BPF JIT fails to converge in NR_JIT_ITERATIONS steps jit_data->header will be NULL which triggers a NULL dereference. Avoid this by checking the argument prior calling the function.
