Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-26771
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to a null pointer dereference in the `edma probe()` function. Exploitation of this issue may allow an attacker to cause a denial of service. The problem arises because `devm kasprintf()` returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory, which can be `NULL` upon failure. To ensure the allocation was successful, it is necessary to check the pointer validity.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
