Vulnerability CVE-2021-4439
Published: 2024-06-20

Description:
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

isdn: cpai: check ctr->cnr to avoid array index out of bound

The cmtp_add_connection() would add a cmtp session to a controller
and run a kernel thread to process cmtp.

__module_get(THIS_MODULE);
session->task = kthread_run(cmtp_session, session, "kcmtpd_ctr_%d",
session->num);

During this process, the kernel thread would call detach_capi_ctr()
to detach a register controller. if the controller
was not attached yet, detach_capi_ctr() would
trigger an array-index-out-bounds bug.
