CVE-2026-45204: CWE - CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference (4.15) in Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK
CVE-2026-45204 is a medium severity vulnerability in Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK where a null pointer dereference occurs in a kernel thread error path. This can be triggered by improper GPU system calls from software running as a non-privileged user, leading to kernel exceptions, platform instability, and denial of service.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a null pointer dereference in an error path of a kernel thread within the Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK. Non-privileged software can invoke improper GPU system calls that cause out-of-bounds access and trigger the null pointer dereference. The resulting kernel exceptions can cause platform instability and denial of service conditions. There is no indication of confidentiality or integrity impact. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability can cause denial of service through kernel exceptions and platform instability. It does not affect confidentiality or integrity. The impact is limited to availability disruption on affected systems.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary workaround has been documented at this time.
