Local kernel crash via missing clock parent map
Published Mar 6, 2025 · Updated May 11, 2026
NULL pointer dereference in Linux kernel 5.18's SM6350 display clock driver allows local users to crash the system via a clock-rate change. The dispcc-sm6350 driver defines a clk_rcg2 parent without the matching parent_map, so qcom_find_src_index dereferences NULL during clk_set_rate. Reachability requires local low-privilege execution on a system using the affected Qualcomm SM6350 display clock, and successful triggering crashes the kernel rather than changing or exposing data.
