Description
A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drm/amd/ras component was fixed. The function ras_core_get_utc_second_timestamp() could dereference a NULL pointer when ras_core was NULL, leading to a potential denial of service. This issue has been patched in Linux kernel versions 7.0.0-28.28 and later. The vulnerability has a medium severity with a CVSS score of 5.5 and does not impact confidentiality or integrity but affects availability. The vendor advisory confirms that a patch is available and recommends updating to fixed kernel versions.
