CVE-2024-47743 Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KEYS: prevent NULL pointer dereference in find_asymmetric_key()
In find_asymmetric_key(), if all NULLs are passed in the id_{0,1,2}
arguments, the kernel will first emit WARN but then have an oops
because id_2 gets dereferenced anyway.
Add the missing id_2 check and move WARN_ON() to the final else branch
to avoid duplicate NULL checks.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace static
analysis tool.
