Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu: Fix a null pointer access when the smc_rreg pointer is NULL

In certain types of chips, such as VEGA20, reading the amdgpu_regs_smc file could result in an abnormal null pointer access when the smc_rreg pointer is NULL. Below are the steps to reproduce this issue and the corresponding exception log:

  1. Navigate to the directory: /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0
  2. Execute command: cat amdgpu_regs_smc
  3.

GHSA-P285-VXM3-73M7

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-05-08 09:30 – Updated: 2025-11-13 00:30
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cpufreq: apple-soc: Fix null-ptr-deref in apple_soc_cpufreq_get_rate()

cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() can return NULL when the target CPU is not present in the policy->cpus mask. apple_soc_cpufreq_get_rate() does not check for this case, which results in a NULL pointer dereference.

Severity
5.5 (Medium)

GHSA-P2QJ-W526-VFR2

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-08-19 18:31 – Updated: 2026-01-09 15:30
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: ccp - Fix crash when rebind ccp device for ccp.ko

When CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_CCP_DEBUGFS is enabled, rebinding the ccp device causes the following crash:

$ echo '0000:0a:00.2' > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ccp/unbind $ echo '0000:0a:00.2' > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ccp/bind

This patch sets ccp_debugfs_dir to NULL after destroying it in ccp5_debugfs_destroy, allowing the directory dentry to be recreated when rebinding the ccp device.

Tested on AMD Ryzen 7 1700X.

VLAI
Summary
Ollama Denial of Service (DoS) via Null Pointer Dereference
Details

A vulnerability in ollama/ollama versions <=0.3.14 allows a malicious user to create a customized GGUF model file that, when uploaded and created on the Ollama server, can cause a crash due to an unchecked null pointer dereference. This can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack via remote network.

GHSA-P32H-J7F8-3J6G

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-14 01:05 – Updated: 2022-05-14 01:05
VLAI
Details

The FoFiType1C::convertToType0 function in FoFiType1C.cc in Poppler 0.59.0 has a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability because a data structure is not initialized, which allows an attacker to launch a denial of service attack.

Mitigation MIT-56
Implementation

For any pointers that could have been modified or provided from a function that can return NULL, check the pointer for NULL before use. When working with a multithreaded or otherwise asynchronous environment, ensure that proper locking APIs are used to lock before the check, and unlock when it has finished [REF-1484].

Mitigation
Requirements

Select a programming language that is not susceptible to these issues.

Mitigation
Implementation

Check the results of all functions that return a value and verify that the value is non-null before acting upon it.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Identify all variables and data stores that receive information from external sources, and apply input validation to make sure that they are only initialized to expected values.

Mitigation
Implementation

Explicitly initialize all variables and other data stores, either during declaration or just before the first usage.
