CVE-2026-80577

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel's drm/panthor driver, panthor_fw_load_section_entry() skips BO creation for zero-sized firmware sections but adds them to the section list, leading to NULL pointer dereference in later paths. The fix skips adding such sections to the list.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could lead to NULL pointer dereference, potentially causing system crash or malfunction of the GPU driver.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update containing the fix for CVE-2026-80577.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panthor: skip zero-sized firmware sections panthor_fw_load_section_entry() skips BO creation when the firmware section VA range is empty. If such a section is added to the firmware section list, section->mem is left as NULL. Later reload and unplug paths iterate over all firmware sections and dereference section->mem, which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference. Zero-sized firmware sections are valid, so accept them as no-op entries but skip adding them to the section list.
