However, its caller in parse_btf_field() only checks\nfor the NULL condition. Fix this by using IS_ERR() and returning the\nerror up the stack.","modified":"2026-04-02T12:16:32.471006Z","published":"2024-06-21T11:18:47.482Z","related":["MGASA-2024-0263","MGASA-2024-0266"],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/36xxx/CVE-2024-36481.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4ed468edfeb54c7202e559eba74c25fac6a0dad0"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ad4b202da2c498fefb69e5d87f67b946e7fe1e6a"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e569eb34970281438e2b48a3ef11c87459fcfbcb"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/36xxx/CVE-2024-36481.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-36481"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"c440adfbe30257dde905adc1fce51131145f7245"},{"fixed":"ad4b202da2c498fefb69e5d87f67b946e7fe1e6a"},{"fixed":"4ed468edfeb54c7202e559eba74c25fac6a0dad0"},{"fixed":"e569eb34970281438e2b48a3ef11c87459fcfbcb"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2024-36481.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
