Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's interconnect driver for Qualcomm SM8450. The issue arises from unconverted dynamic IDs for platform interconnects, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in the icc_link_nodes() function. This vulnerability can be triggered during runtime when a pointer to a destination interconnect is invalid, resulting in a kernel panic and a system crash, effectively causing a Denial of Service (DoS).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-08 14:04:14 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

interconnect: qcom: sm8450: Fix NULL pointer dereference in icc_link_nodes()

The change to dynamic IDs for SM8450 platform interconnects left two links
unconverted, fix it to avoid the NULL pointer dereference in runtime,
when a pointer to a destination interconnect is not valid:

    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000008
