Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description: A flaw was identified in the Linux kernel's perf subsystem, specifically within the arm-ni component. The issue stems from a missing call to platform set drvdata() in the arm ni probe() function. Consequently, attempting to retrieve driver data using platform get drvdata() during module removal results in a NULL pointer dereference.

Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
