CVE-2025-40360

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description The Linux kernel contains a flaw within the drm/sysfb subsystem where a NULL pointer dereference can occur in the drm gem reset shadow plane() function during plane reset operations. Specifically, the plane->state can be NULL, and attempting to dereference this NULL pointer is prevented by forwarding NULL to other plane-reset helper functions and clearing plane->state to NULL.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
