Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, specifically within the rockchip: rkcif media driver. This vulnerability occurs because the driver's pads do not properly check for connected devices, which can lead to a null pointer dereference when a media stream is enabled. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
