Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-07-10 08:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 09:16
Severity
5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmem: zynqmp_nvmem: unbreak driver after cleanup Commit 29be47fcd6a0 ("nvmem: zynqmp_nvmem: zynqmp_nvmem_probe cleanup") changed the driver to expect the device pointer to be passed as the "context", but in nvmem the context parameter comes from nvmem_config.priv which is never set - Leading to null pointer exceptions when the device is accessed.
