A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Linux Kernel up to 6.6.23/6.7.11/6.8.2. Affected is an unknown code block of the component imx8-isi. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-476. A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: nxp: imx8-isi: Check whether crossbar pad is non-NULL before access When translating source to sink streams in the crossbar subdev, the driver tries to locate the remote subdev connected to the sink pad. The remote pad may be NULL, if userspace tries to enable a stream that ends at an unconnected crossbar sink. When that occurs, the driver dereferences the NULL pad, leading to a crash. Prevent the crash by checking if the pad is NULL before using it, and return an error if it is.

The advisory is available at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2023-52647 since 03/06/2024. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.
