Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-476
NULL Pointer Dereference
Publication date:

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drm/msm/a6xx: Avoid a nullptr dereference when speedbin setting fails<br />
<br />
Calling a6xx_destroy() before adreno_gpu_init() leads to a null pointer<br />
dereference on:<br />
<br />
msm_gpu_cleanup() : platform_set_drvdata(gpu->pdev, NULL);<br />
<br />
as gpu->pdev is only assigned in:<br />
<br />
a6xx_gpu_init()<br />
|_ adreno_gpu_init<br />
|_ msm_gpu_init()<br />
<br />
Instead of relying on handwavy null checks down the cleanup chain,<br />
explicitly de-allocate the LLC data and free a6xx_gpu instead.<br />
