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-2023-54138 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-2023-54138/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54138/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-54138","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54138/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-54138","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-54138","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-54138","GHSA-84w3-9hf3-rf66","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-54138"],"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 null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel's DRM MSM driver can cause a system crash during initialization or deinitialization.","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: fix NULL-deref on irq uninstall\n\nIn case of early initialisation errors and on platforms that do not use\nthe DPU controller, the deinitilisation code can be called with the kms\npointer set to NULL.\n\nPatchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/525104/","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: fix NULL-deref on irq uninstall","id":"CVE-2023-54138","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"tracing/user_events: Ensure write index cannot be negative","id":"CVE-2023-54139"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"vfio/type1: fix cap_migration information leak","id":"CVE-2023-54137"},"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 null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel's DRM MSM driver can cause a system crash during initialization or deinitialization.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54138/"}
