It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-54018 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54018/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54018/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-54018","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54018/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-54018","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-54018","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-54018","GHSA-ghvq-vpw4-hmq7","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-54018"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A missing null check in the Linux kernel's HDMI driver can lead to a null pointer dereference, causing a system crash.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/msm/hdmi: Add missing check for alloc_ordered_workqueue\n\nAdd check for the return value of alloc_ordered_workqueue as it may return\nNULL pointer and cause NULL pointer dereference in `hdmi_hdcp.c` and\n`hdmi_hpd.c`.\n\nPatchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/517211/","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"drm/msm/hdmi: Add missing check for alloc_ordered_workqueue","id":"CVE-2023-54018","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"sched/psi: use kernfs polling functions for PSI trigger polling","id":"CVE-2023-54019"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"powerpc/pseries: fix possible memory leak in ibmebus_bus_init()","id":"CVE-2023-54017"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-24","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A missing null check in the Linux kernel's HDMI driver can lead to a null pointer dereference, causing a system crash.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54018/"}
