CVE-2025-40195 [MEDIUM] CWE-476 kernel: Linux kernel: NULL pointer dereference in mount leads to local denial of service
kernel: Linux kernel: NULL pointer dereference in mount leads to local denial of service
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mount: handle NULL values in mnt_ns_release()
When calling in listmount() mnt_ns_release() may be passed a NULL
pointer. Handle that case gracefully.
A flaw was found in kernel. This vulnerability allows local denial-of-service via a NULL pointer dereference in pid_nr_ns() when called with a NULL PID namespace.
Statement: The vulnerability is a NULL pointer dereference in pid_nr_ns() when it is called with a NULL PID namespace, leading to a kernel panic from paths such as __task_pid_nr_ns() on certain platforms. In realistic setups, this is a local denial-of-service issue, likely requiring specific kernel configuration or privileges
