CVE-2026-64120— Linux kernel 安全漏洞

net: ethtool: fix NULL pointer dereference in phy_reply_size

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ethtool: fix NULL pointer dereference in phy_reply_size In phy_prepare_data(), several strings such as 'name', 'drvname', 'upstream_sfp_name', and 'downstream_sfp_name' are allocated using kstrdup(). However, these allocations were not checked for failure. If kstrdup() fails for 'name', it returns NULL while the function continues. This leads to a kernel NULL pointer dereference and panic later in phy_reply_size() when it unconditionally calls strlen() on the NULL pointer. While other strings like 'upstream_sfp_name' might be checked before access in certain code paths, failing to handle these allocations consistently can lead to incomplete data reporting or hidden bugs. Fix this by adding proper NULL checks for all kstrdup() calls in phy_prepare_data() and implement a centralized error handling path using goto labels to ensure all previously allocated resources are freed on failure.

Linux kernel 安全漏洞

Linux kernel是美国Linux基金会开源的一款操作系统内核。 Linux kernel存在安全漏洞，该漏洞源于在phy_prepare_data中未检查kstrdup函数分配字符串的返回值，可能导致空指针取消引用和内核崩溃。
