This is optional feature and UFS MCQ\nshould work with and without ESI feature.\n\nCommit e46a28cea29a (\"scsi: ufs: qcom: Remove the MSI descriptor abuse\")\nbrings a regression in ESI (Enhanced System Interrupt) configuration that\ncauses a null pointer dereference when Platform MSI allocation fails.\n\nThe issue occurs in when platform_device_msi_init_and_alloc_irqs() in\nufs_qcom_config_esi() fails (returns -EINVAL) but the current code uses\n__free() macro for automatic cleanup free MSI resources that were never\nsuccessfully allocated.\n\nUnable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual\naddress 0000000000000008\n\n  Call trace:\n  mutex_lock+0xc/0x54 (P)\n  platform_device_msi_free_irqs_all+0x1c/0x40\n  ufs_qcom_config_esi+0x1d0/0x220 [ufs_qcom]\n  ufshcd_config_mcq+0x28/0x104\n  ufshcd_init+0xa3c/0xf40\n  ufshcd_pltfrm_init+0x504/0x7d4\n  ufs_qcom_probe+0x20/0x58 [ufs_qcom]\n\nFix by restructuring the ESI configuration to try MSI allocation first,\nbefore any other resource allocation and instead use explicit cleanup\ninstead of __free() macro to avoid cleanup of unallocated resources.\n\nTested on SM8750 platform with MCQ enabled, both with and without\nPlatform ESI support.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-476"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6300d5c5438724c0876828da2f6e2c1a661871fc","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aaf17a35a59572c8b29372883619c3dbb0ebb50a"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-39674","score":0.0014,"percentile":0.0331,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
