Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.37

Description The issue is related to the thermal drivers in the Linux kernel, specifically the qcom/lmh driver. A check for SCM availability was not performed, leading to possible null pointer dereferences. This issue has been resolved by adding the necessary check.

Recommendations Update to Linux kernel version 6.6.37 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the thermal drivers until a patch is available. Restrict access to the vulnerable module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the affected driver until the issue is resolved.
