Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-80621)
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 user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference in dwc_pcie_rasdes_debugfs_deinit() when tearing down debugfs state for a controller without RAS DES capability. A local user can trigger the affected code path to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs when RAS DES initialization leaves rasdes_info unset because no RAS DES state is allocated.
