In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_scmi: Fix NULL dereference on notify error path
Since commit b5daf93b809d1 ("firmware: arm_scmi: Avoid notifier
registration for unsupported events") the call chains leading to the helper
__scmi_event_handler_get_ops expect an ERR_PTR to be returned on failure to
get an handler for the requested event key, while the current helper can
still return a NULL when no handler could be found or created.
Fix by forcing an ERR_PTR return value when the handler reference is NULL.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's arm_scmi firmware component. The __scmi_event_handler_get_ops helper function can return a NULL pointer when an event handler is not found or created, instead of an expected error pointer. This improper handling of the error path leads to a NULL dereference vulnerability. Exploitation of this flaw can cause a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
