In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: vchiq_arm: Fix possible NPR of keep-alive thread In case vchiq_platform_conn_state_changed() is never called or fails before driver removal, ka_thread won't be a valid pointer…
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.20%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
