CVE-2026-72346
Last modified
CVE-2026-72346 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: bitland-mifs-wmi: Fix NULL pointer dereference during suspend/resume The driver registers two distinct WMI devices: a control device (BITLAND_WMI_CONTROL) and an event device (BITLAND_WMI_EVENT). During the probe phase, the event device handling path returns early before initializing the platform profile device (data->pp_dev), leaving it NULL. However, the PM sleep operations are registered globally for the WMI driver and are triggered for both devices. EPSS estimates a 0.20% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: bitland-mifs-wmi: Fix NULL pointer dereference during suspend/resume The driver registers two distinct WMI devices: a control device (BITLAND_WMI_CONTROL) and an event device (BITLAND_WMI_EVENT). During the probe phase, the event device handling path returns early before initializing the platform profile device (data->pp_dev), leaving it NULL. However, the PM sleep operations are registered globally for the WMI driver and are triggered for both devices. When entering suspend, the event device invokes bitland_mifs_wmi_suspend(), which passes the uninitialized data->pp_dev (NULL) into laptop_profile_get(). This leads to a NULL pointer dereference inside dev_get_drvdata(), causing a kernel Oops and halting the suspend sequence. Fix this by adding a validity check for data->pp_dev in both the suspend and resume callbacks, safely skipping profile operations for the event device.
