4Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: accel/amdxdna: Fix NULL pointer dereference of mgmt_chann mgmt_chann may be set to NULL if the firmware returns an unexpected error in aie2_send_mgmt_msg_wait(). This can later lead to a NULL pointer dereference in aie2_hw_stop(). Fix this by introducing a dedicated helper to destroy mgmt_chann and by adding proper NULL checks before accessing it.
Analysis
A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's AMD XDena accelerator driver (accel/amdxdna) where the mgmt_chann variable may be set to NULL if firmware returns an unexpected error during management message transmission, subsequently causing a kernel crash when aie2_hw_stop() attempts to access it. This affects Linux kernel versions across the amdxdna subsystem and can be exploited by local attackers with physical access or through malicious firmware to trigger a denial of service condition. …
