Description
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel where the
malidp crtc reset function in drivers/gpu/drm/arm/malidp crtc.c lacks a check of the return value of kzalloc(), leading to a null pointer dereference. This could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service or elevate their privileges.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions through 5.16-rc6, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
malidp crtc reset function until a patch is available.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.NULL Pointer Dereference
