CVE-2026-80752

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's psxpad-spi driver. This vulnerability occurs because the psxpad_spi_suspend() function attempts to access controller state before it has been properly initialized, leading to a null pointer dereference. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

This vulnerability is evaluated as a Moderate impact because exploitation requires local access and is limited to causing a denial of service through an unhandled system crash. In standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux deployments, the psxpad-spi joystick driver is not enabled or compiled into shipping kernels, eliminating exposure on supported configurations.
