System crash via incorrect VSP1 cleanup
Published Jun 8, 2026 · Updated Jun 8, 2026
NULL pointer dereference in affected Linux Kernel releases allows local users able to unload modules to crash Gen 4 VSP1 systems. The VSP1 removal path calls vsp1_drm_cleanup instead of vsp1_vspx_cleanup because cleanup does not select the function matching the detected IP generation. Only systems using the Gen 4 Renesas VSP1 path are exposed, and reaching the fault requires control of kernel-module unloading.

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.
