1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53237)

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 user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference in the mvebu GPIO suspend/resume handling in drivers/gpio/gpio-mvebu.c when processing suspend and resume operations for GPIO banks without PWM functionality. A local user can trigger a suspend or resume operation to cause a denial of service.

Only GPIO banks that do not have PWM functionality are affected.
