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

Description A flaw exists in the Linux kernel related to the MediaTek mtk-svs driver. Specifically, if the system boots without a full reset (such as via kexec()), a peripheral might trigger an interrupt request (IRQ) before the necessary data structures are initialized. This can lead to a kernel NULL pointer dereference, potentially causing a system crash.

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