CVE-2023-3355 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's drivers/gpu/drm/msm/msm_gem_submit.c code in the submit_lookup_cmds function, which fails because it lacks a check of the return value of kmalloc(). This issue allows a local user to crash the system.. EPSS estimates a 0.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
