CVE-2026-43123 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Amazon-Linux security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Amazon-Linux:2023.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf6.18-debuginfo package and not the perf6.18-debuginfo package as distributed by Amazon-Linux.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbcon: check return value of con2fb_acquire_newinfo()
If fbcon_open() fails when called from con2fb_acquire_newinfo() then info->fbcon_par pointer remains NULL which is later dereferenced.
Add check for return value of the function con2fb_acquire_newinfo() to avoid it.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
