CVE-2021-47518
Last modified
CVE-2021-47518 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: fix potential NULL pointer deref in nfc_genl_dump_ses_done The done() netlink callback nfc_genl_dump_ses_done() should check if received argument is non-NULL, because its allocation could fail earlier in dumpit() (nfc_genl_dump_ses()).. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
