Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64165)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: 6.8 [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]


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

The vulnerability exists due to a null pointer dereference in intcp_init_early when performing early initialization before the memory management subsystem is initialized. A local attacker can trigger the vulnerable initialization path to cause a denial of service.

The issue affects ARM Integrator/CP systems using Device Tree, and the failure may manifest as either a kernel crash or an -ENOMEM condition that prevents sched_clock_register from being called.
