CVE-2024-43909 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/pm: Fix the null pointer dereference for smu7 optimize the code to avoid pass a null pointer (hwmgr->backend) to function smu7_update_edc_leakage_table.
A null pointer dereference vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's AMDGPU power management for SMU7. This issue occurs in the stable Linux kernel versions 6.1.0-0.deb11.22-amd64 and prior to 6.1.119-1~deb11u1. The vulnerability arises because the code improperly passes a null pointer to the function 'smu7_update_edc_leakage_table', which can lead to a denial-of-service condition by causing a crash when the function attempts to access the null pointer.
Users can upgrade to Linux kernel version 6.1.119-1~deb11u1 to address this vulnerability.
