CVE-2023-53289 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: bdisp: Add missing check for create_workqueue Add the check for the return value of the create_workqueue in order to avoid NULL pointer dereference.
A vulnerability allowing a NULL pointer dereference has been identified in the Linux kernel's media blitter driver, specifically within the 2D blitter driver that uses the V4L2 memory-to-memory framework. The issue arises because the driver does not properly check the return value of the 'create_workqueue' function, which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference. This vulnerability affects several versions of the Linux kernel.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been addressed. Instructions for upgrading the kernel can be found in the official Linux kernel documentation.
