In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

firmware: qcom: scm: Fix NULL dereference in IRQ handler before __scm is published

In qcom_scm_probe(), devm_request_threaded_irq() is called before
smp_store_release(&__scm, scm). Two paths can dereference __scm before
it is published, both causing a NULL pointer dereference.

The IRQ handler receives scm via its data argument but passes only wq_ctx
to qcom_scm_waitq_wakeup() and qcom_scm_get_completion(), which then
dereference __scm directly. Thread scm through both functions so the IRQ
handler path never touches __scm.

Non-atomic SMC calls made during probe (e.g. from qcom_tzmem_init via
qcom_scm_shm_bridge_enable) can return WAITQ_SLEEP, causing
qcom_scm_wait_for_wq_completion() to run before __scm is published and
dereference it. Add platform_set_drvdata(pdev, scm) early in probe and
change qcom_scm_wait_for_wq_completion() to take the device pointer and
use dev_get_drvdata() to reach scm, removing any dependency on __scm.
