Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-43335)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-43335). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
interconnect: qcom: sm8450: Fix NULL pointer dereference in icc_link_nodes()
The change to dynamic IDs for SM8450 platform interconnects left two links
unconverted, fix it to avoid the NULL pointer dereference in runtime,
when a pointer to a destination interconnect is not valid:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000008
