Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SCSI Universal Flash Storage (UFS) core. This flaw occurs due to a missing null pointer check in the ufshcd_add_command_trace() function. A local attacker could potentially trigger a scenario where a null value is returned by ufshcd_mcq_req_to_hwq(), leading to a null pointer dereference and a kernel crash. This can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition, making the system unavailable.
