Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-43145
Published: May 7, 2026
Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of a missing resource table in imx_rproc_elf_find_loaded_rsc_table() when starting firmware without a resource table. A local user can start crafted firmware lacking a resource table to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs when the device tree contains an "rsc-table" entry but the current firmware does not provide a resource table.
