Local system crash via premature pointer dereference
Published Mar 26, 2024 · Updated May 11, 2026
NULL-pointer dereference in Linux kernel 6.6 through 6.6.14 and 6.7 through 6.7.2 allows local users to crash the system. edp_setup_replay() reads link->ctx->dc before checking link for NULL, then derives replay from dc before checking replay. Local access with low privileges is required; the public record describes no trigger beyond reaching this AMD display replay path.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
