The current code dereferences the returned\npointer without checking for NULL, leading to a kernel NULL pointer\ndereference at the following lines:\n\n    dma_addr = rmem->base;                          // line 1156\n    num_desc = div_u64(rmem->size, buf_size);       // line 1160\n\nAdd a NULL check after of_reserved_mem_lookup() and return -ENODEV if\nthe lookup fails, which is consistent with the existing error handling\nfor of_parse_phandle() failure in the same code block.","published":"2026-07-01T14:16:42.000Z","lastModified":"2026-07-23T21:33:12.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-476"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.0016,"percentile":0.05149,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.16%).
