NULL pointer dereference in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-53135

Vulnerability identifier: #VU135655

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-2026-53135

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 dp_sdp_message_debugfs_write() in the AMD display debugfs interface when handling writes to the sdp_message debugfs node. A local user can write to the debugfs node to cause a denial of service.

A connector may be connected but not bound to any CRTC, such as after hot-plug before the next atomic commit.
