Description SMASH SMASH 2024-07-16 08:28:38 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: mtk-vcodec: potential null pointer deference in SCP

The return value of devm_kzalloc() needs to be checked to avoid
NULL pointer deference. This is similar to CVE-2022-3113.
