Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64168)

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 an error pointer dereference in the sprd spi driver probe error-handling path when handling DMA setup failure during probe. A local user can trigger a probe path that falls back from DMA to PIO mode and reaches late error handling to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because the driver may attempt to release DMA channels after DMA setup has failed.
