{"id":"AZL-104045","summary":"CVE-2026-97484 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nusbip: vhci_hcd: fix NULL deref in status_show_vhci\n\nplatform_get_drvdata() can return NULL if a VHCI host controller's\nprobe failed (e.g. due to USB bus number exhaustion). status_show_vhci()\nchecked for a NULL pdev but not for a NULL hcd returned by\nplatform_get_drvdata(). Passing NULL to hcd_to_vhci_hcd() does not\nreturn NULL - it returns a pointer offset of 0x260, causing a NULL\npointer dereference when that value is subsequently dereferenced.\n\nAdd a NULL check on hcd before calling hcd_to_vhci_hcd(). Move\nstatus_show_not_ready() above status_show_vhci() to make it callable\nfrom the new error path without a forward declaration.","modified":"2026-09-25T14:15:58.032627291Z","published":"2026-09-24T17:17:25Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-97484"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-97484"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.157.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-104045.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
