Summary

In the Linux kernel's PCI dwc driver, dwc_pcie_rasdes_debugfs_deinit() can dereference a NULL pointer when the controller lacks RAS DES capability. Initialization succeeds but does not allocate rasdes_info, and the cleanup function tries to access it.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to a system crash (kernel panic) during debugfs teardown, potentially enabling a DoS attack.

Recommendation

Apply a kernel update containing the fix that adds an early return when no RAS DES state was allocated.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: dwc: Avoid dwc_pcie_rasdes_debugfs_deinit() NULL dereference when no RAS DES capability dwc_pcie_rasdes_debugfs_init() returns success when the controller has no RAS DES capability, leaving pci->debugfs->rasdes_info unset. The common debugfs teardown path still calls dwc_pcie_rasdes_debugfs_deinit(), which dereferences rasdes_info unconditionally. Return early when no RAS DES state was allocated. In that case no RAS DES mutex was initialized, so there is nothing to destroy. [mani: reworded subject]
