Vulnerability identifier: #VU93055

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-2024-36002

CWE-ID: CWE-476

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to NULL pointer dereference within the dpll_device_get_by_id(), dpll_pin_registration_find(), dpll_xa_ref_pin_add(), dpll_xa_ref_pin_del(), dpll_xa_ref_dpll_add(), dpll_xa_ref_dpll_del(), EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), __dpll_pin_register(), dpll_pin_register(), dpll_pin_unregister(), dpll_pin_on_pin_register() and dpll_pin_on_pin_unregister() functions in drivers/dpll/dpll_core.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
