MEDIUM 4.4EPSS 0.37%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.37%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's GPU Nouveau driver functionality in versions prior to 5.12-rc1 in the way the user calls ioctl DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_CHANNEL_ALLOC. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system.
