CVE-2024-58081

Kernel crash via unnamed MMP2 power domain

Published Mar 6, 2025 · Updated May 23, 2026

NULL pointer dereference in the MMP2 clock driver in affected Linux kernels allows local users to crash the kernel during debugfs setup. The pwr_island_init path calls pm_genpd_init before assigning genpd.name, leaving the embedded device unnamed when debugfs later uses dev_name() for directory creation. Low-privileged local access is required, and successful triggering causes a kernel crash without reported confidentiality or integrity impact.
