Summary

In the Linux kernel msc313 RTC driver, there is a NULL pointer dereference in the shared IRQ handler during probe. msc313_rtc_probe() calls devm_request_irq() with IRQF_SHARED and passes &pdev->dev as the cookie, but platform_set_drvdata() is called later. If another device on the same IRQ line triggers the handler in that window, the handler does dev_get_drvdata() on the cookie, gets NULL, and dereferences priv->rtc_base in interrupt context. The fix passes priv as the cookie directly so the handler reads it from dev_id without the lookup.

Risk Assessment

This may lead to system crash (kernel panic) or undefined behavior, especially in environments with shared interrupt lines.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix, and check if other devices on the same IRQ line cause issues.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rtc: msc313: fix NULL deref in shared IRQ handler at probe msc313_rtc_probe() calls devm_request_irq() with IRQF_SHARED and &pdev->dev as the cookie, but platform_set_drvdata() is only called later after the clock setup. With a shared IRQ line, another device on the same line can trigger the handler in that window. The handler does dev_get_drvdata() on the cookie, gets NULL, and dereferences priv->rtc_base in interrupt context. Pass priv as the cookie directly so the handler reads it from dev_id without the lookup, removing the dependency on probe order.
