In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/hyperv: Fix NULL deref in set_hv_tscchange_cb() if Hyper-V setup fails
Check for a valid hv_vp_index array prior to derefencing hv_vp_index when
setting Hyper-V’s TSC change callback. If Hyper-V setup failed in
hyperv_init(), the kernel will still report that it’s running under
Hyper-V, but will have silently disabled nearly all functionality. BUG:
kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010 #PF: supervisor
read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 0
