Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel versions prior to 4.16

Description: The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service by triggering a failure of resource retrieval, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference. This is due to a problem in the hi3660 stub clk probe function.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 4.16, update to version 4.16 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the hi3660 stub clk probe function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
