CVE-2026-43335: Linux kernel may crash on SM8450 devices due to null pointer
CVE-2026-43335 · published 6 months ago
Summary
The Linux kernel versions provided by Canonical (including HWE Edge, OEM, Oracle, and AWS builds) can hit a serious error when running on Qualcomm SM8450 hardware. A missing connection causes the system to try to use an invalid memory address, leading to a kernel panic and system crash. Apply the latest kernel updates from your vendor to get the fix that corrects the missing link.
What to do
- Update debian linux to version 6.19.12-1.
- Update canonical linux-nvidia to version 7.0.0-1006.6.
- Update linux kernel to version 6.19.12.
- Update linux linux_kernel to version 6.19.12 or later.

interconnect: qcom: sm8450: Fix NULL pointer dereference in icc_link_nodes()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
interconnect: qcom: sm8450: Fix NULL pointer dereference in icc_link_nodes()
The change to dynamic IDs for SM8450 platform interconnects left two links
unconverted, fix it to avoid the NULL pointer dereference in runtime,
when a pointer to a destination interconnect is not valid:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000008
