Overview

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

media: hantro: Check whether reset op is defined before use

The i.MX8MM/N/P does not define the .reset op since reset of the VPU is

done by genpd. Check whether the .reset op is defined before calling it

to avoid NULL pointer dereference.

Note that the Fixes tag is set to the commit which removed the reset op

from i.MX8M Hantro G2 implementation, this is because before this commit

all the implementations did define the .reset op.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
