Kernel crash via unchecked platform resource
Published Mar 27, 2025 · Updated May 11, 2026
NULL pointer dereference in the UniPhier reset driver in Linux allows local users to crash the kernel during device probing. The uniphier_glue_reset_probe function passes platform_get_resource output to resource_size before verifying that a memory resource was returned. The published record does not explain how a local low-privileged user can induce probing with the required missing resource.
