In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: stratix10-rsu: Fix NULL pointer dereference when RSU is disabled
When the Remote System Update (RSU) isn't enabled in the First Stage
Boot Loader (FSBL), the driver encounters a NULL pointer dereference when
excute svc_normal_to_secure_thread() thread, resulting in a kernel panic:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000008

The issue occurs because rsu_send_async_msg() fails when RSU is not enabled
in firmware, causing the channel to be freed via stratix10_svc_free_channel().
However, the probe function continues execution and registers
svc_normal_to_secure_thread(), which subsequently attempts to access the
already-freed channel, triggering the NULL pointer dereference.
Fix this by properly cleaning up the async client and returning early on
failure, preventing the thread from being used with an invalid channel.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's stratix10-rsu firmware driver. When the Remote System Update (RSU) is not enabled in the First Stage Boot Loader (FSBL), the driver attempts to access an already-freed channel. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference, causing a kernel panic and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the system.
