NULL Pointer Dereference Affecting kernel-rt-debug package, versions *
Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

CVE-2024-26600 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for Centos:7 kernel-rt-debug.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-debug package and not the kernel-rt-debug package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phy: ti: phy-omap-usb2: Fix NULL pointer dereference for SRP
If the external phy working together with phy-omap-usb2 does not implement send_srp(), we may still attempt to call it. This can happen on an idle Ethernet gadget triggering a wakeup for example:
configfs-gadget.g1 gadget.0: ECM Suspend configfs-gadget.g1 gadget.0: Port suspended. Triggering wakeup ... Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 when execute ...

Let's fix the issue by checking for send_srp() and set_vbus() before calling them. For USB peripheral only cases these both could be NULL.
