Summary

In the Linux kernel's MSM graphics driver (drm/msm/a6xx), a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in a8xx_hfi_send_perf_table. The function does not check the return value of kzalloc(), potentially leading to a crash on memory allocation failure.

Risk Assessment

NULL pointer dereference can lead to system crash (kernel panic) and potential exploitation by an attacker.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix that adds a check for the kzalloc() return value.
