Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-35916
**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 `sanitycheck()` function. If a memory allocation failure occurs and `mock chain()` returns NULL, it is passed to `dma fence enable sw signaling()`, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference. The fix involves calling `dma fence enable sw signaling()` only if `mock chain()` succeeds. This vulnerability may allow an attacker to cause a denial of service.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
