CVE-2023-54138 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm: fix NULL-deref on irq uninstall In case of early initialisation errors and on platforms that do not use the DPU controller, the deinitilisation code can be called with the kms pointer set to NULL. Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/525104/
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's DRM MSM (Mobile Station Modem) component can lead to a NULL pointer dereference. This issue occurs during the uninstallation of interrupts, particularly on platforms that do not utilize the DPU (Display Processing Unit) controller. In such cases, if there are early initialization errors, the deinitialization process may be invoked with the KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) pointer set to NULL, causing a null dereference.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been addressed. The specific commit that resolves this issue is available in the Linux stable tree.
