Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Linux Kernel up to 5.10.209/5.15.148/6.1.78/6.6.17/6.7.5. Affected is the function __sev_platform_shutdown_locked of the component crypto. 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: crypto: ccp - Fix null pointer dereference in __sev_platform_shutdown_locked The SEV platform device can be shutdown with a null psp_master, e.g., using DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE.
