What is CVE-2026-64215?
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel where the 'a8xx_hfi_send_perf_table' function in the 'drm/msm/a6xx' driver does not check the return value of 'kzalloc()'. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference if memory allocation fails, potentially causing a system crash. Updating the kernel is necessary to mitigate this issue.
