Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53158)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference in fastrpc_rpmsg_callback() when handling a glink message before probe initialization has completed. A local attacker can trigger the callback during early channel activation to cause a denial of service.

This issue can occur during boot when the rpmsg channel becomes live before driver initialization is fully complete.
