A fix has been implemented that adds a NULL pointer check in ufshcd_mcq_abort() to prevent kernel crashes. Users should apply the official kernel patch once available. No additional mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
CVE-2025-37828 is a medium severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's UFS MCQ driver where a race condition can cause a NULL pointer dereference, leading to a kernel crash. The issue arises when a request completes and the abort handler dereferences a potentially NULL hardware queue pointer. A NULL check was added to prevent this crash.
