Lifecycle Timeline
3Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: NULL-check BO's backing store when determining GFX12 PTE flags PRT BOs may not have any backing store, so bo->tbo.resource will be NULL. Check for that before dereferencing. (cherry picked from commit 3e3fcd29b505cebed659311337ea03b7698767fc)
Analysis
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: NULL-check BO's backing store when determining GFX12 PTE flags PRT BOs may not have any backing store, so. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.5), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. This NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability could allow attackers to crash the application by dereferencing a null pointer.
Technical Context
This vulnerability is classified as NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-476), which allows attackers to crash the application by dereferencing a null pointer. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: NULL-check BO's backing store when determining GFX12 PTE flags PRT BOs may not have any backing store, so bo->tbo.resource will be NULL. Check for that before dereferencing. (cherry picked from commit 3e3fcd29b505cebed659311337ea03b7698767fc) Affected products include: Linux Linux Kernel.
