NULL pointer dereference in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-46245

Vulnerability identifier: #VU133345

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46245

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 amdgpu_dm_hpd_init() in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm_irq.c when initializing HPD interrupts for connectors without a valid dc_link. A local user can trigger handling of such a connector to cause a denial of service.
