In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/dasd: Guard sysfs discipline callbacks against unallocated private data
Several sysfs show/store handlers call a discipline callback that
dereferences device->private, either directly or through the
DASD_DEFINE_ATTR() macro. During dasd_generic_set_online() the discipline
is assigned before check_device() allocates device->private, so an
unprivileged read of one of these world-readable attributes in that window
dereferences a NULL pointer and panics.
Guard the dereference inside each callback that actually touches
device->private.
