CVE-2025-37801 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: spi-imx: Add check for spi_imx_setupxfer() Add check for the return value of spi_imx_setupxfer(). spi_imx->rx and spi_imx->tx function pointer can be NULL when spi_imx_setupxfer() return error, and make NULL pointer dereference. Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 Call trace: 0x0 spi_imx_pio_transfer+0x50/0xd8 spi_imx_transfer_one+0x18c/0x858 spi_transfer_one_message+0x43c/0x790 __spi_pump_transfer_message+0x238/0x5d4 __spi_sync+0x2b0/0x454 spi_write_then_read+0x11c/0x200
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) IMX component can lead to a NULL pointer dereference. This issue arises because the function 'spi_imx_setupxfer()' does not properly handle errors, allowing the 'spi_imx->rx' and 'spi_imx->tx' function pointers to become NULL. When the transfer function is called, it results in a kernel crash due to an unhandled NULL pointer dereference.
