NULL pointer dereference in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-45911

Vulnerability identifier: #VU132582

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4 BT: 4.3 [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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-45911

CWE-ID: CWE-476

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference in the cdns3 driver resume path when switching roles during resume. A local user can trigger a role change while the system is resuming to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs when the driver switches to host mode during resume and the xhci-hcd device probe is deferred.
