Impact

A missing reset operations table in the Amlogic t7 reset driver causes a null pointer dereference in the kernel. When the reset subsystem is invoked, the interrupt handler attempts to call a function pointer that has never been initialized, leading to a kernel panic. This results in a denial‑of‑service, rendering the system unavailable.

Affected Systems

Ammilogic t7 boards running the Linux kernel are affected. No specific kernel versions are listed, but any build that includes the unpatched reset subsystem on these SOCs is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability is not actively exploited in the field as the reset functionality is currently unused on the SOC. No CVSS score or EPSS data are provided, and the vulnerability is not in CISA’s KEV catalog. Because the reset path is not yet exposed, the immediate exploitation risk is low, but the flaw could be leveraged in the future if reset support is activated.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Obtain and apply the Linux kernel update that implements commit 463a0885de665d3f36e219c5502584b99fa61c85 or later, which initializes the reset ops table for the Amlogic t7.
  • Verify that the reset functionality remains unused on the Amlogic t7 board; if you need reset capability, enable the reset driver after patch to avoid using the uninitialized ops.
  • Consider disabling the reset subsystem in the kernel configuration (CONFIG_RESET_CONTROLLER) if reset operations are not required, thereby eliminating the risk of triggering the null pointer dereference.
  • Monitor system logs for any unexpected reset events; kernel crashes or Oops messages can indicate an attempt to use the reset path.
