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-2026-46245 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. 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-2026-46245/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-46245/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-46245","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-46245/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-46245","record":{"aliases":["AZL-89336","BELL-CVE-2026-46245","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-46245","GHSA-gc8h-w3qg-mpcq","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-46245","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-46245","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-46245","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-46245","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-46245","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-46245"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A null pointer dereference in the AMD display driver can cause a kernel crash when initializing hot-plug detection for certain connectors.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/amd/display: Fix dc_link NULL handling in HPD init\n\namdgpu_dm_hpd_init() may see connectors without a valid dc_link.\n\nThe code already checks dc_link for the polling decision, but later\nunconditionally dereferences it when setting up HPD interrupts.\n\nAssign dc_link early and skip connectors where it is NULL.\n\nFixes the below:\ndrivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm_irq.c:940 amdgpu_dm_hpd_init()\nerror: we previously assumed 'dc_link' could be null (see line 931)\n\ndrivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm_irq.c\n    923                 /*\n    924                  * Analog connectors may be hot-plugged unlike other connector\n    925                  * types that don't support HPD.
