CVE-2026-45874: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: phy: freescale: imx8qm-hsio: fix NULL pointer dereference During the probe the refclk_pad pointer is set to NULL if the 'fsl,refclk-pad-mode' property is not defined in the devicetree node. But in imx_hsio_configure_clk_pad() this pointer is unconditionally used which could result in a NULL pointer dereference. So check the pointer before to use it.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 6.11, before 6.12.75 (fixed in 6.12.75); from 6.13, before 6.18.14 (fixed in 6.18.14); from 6.19, before 6.19.4 (fixed in 6.19.4)
