CVE ID : CVE-2024-56767

Published : Jan. 6, 2025, 5:15 p.m. | 1 hour, 10 minutes ago

Description : In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dmaengine: at_xdmac: avoid null_prt_deref in at_xdmac_prep_dma_memset

The at_xdmac_memset_create_desc may return NULL, which will lead to a
