Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-09-05 18:05:34 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: iris: Fix NULL pointer dereference

A warning reported by smatch indicated a possible null pointer
dereference where one of the arguments to API
"iris_hfi_gen2_handle_system_error" could sometimes be null.

To fix this, add a check to validate that the argument passed is not
null before accessing its members.
