If the sysfs\nattribute is accessed prematurely, the dev_get_drvdata(&inputdev->dev)\ncall in in cmpc_accel_sensitivity_store_v4() returns NULL which\nleads to a NULL pointer dereference going forward.\n\nMoreover, sysfs attributes using the input device are added before\ninitializing that device by cmpc_add_acpi_notify_device() and if one\nof them is accessed before running that function, a NULL pointer\ndereference will occur.\n\nFor example, cmpc_accel_sensitivity_attr_v4 is added before calling\ncmpc_add_acpi_notify_device() and if it is read prematurely, the\ndev_get_drvdata(&acpi->dev) call in cmpc_accel_sensitivity_show_v4()\nreturns NULL which leads to a NULL pointer dereference going forward.\n\nFix this by adding NULL pointer checks in all of the relevant places.","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/97528b1622b8f129574d29a571c32a3c85eafa3c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/993708fc18d0d0919db438361b4e8c1f980a8d1b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9cf4b9b8ad09d6e05307abc4e951cabdff4be652","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/af673209d43b46257540997aba042b90ef3258c0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/da6e06a5fdbabea3870d18c227734b5dea5b3be6"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:24:17.937441719+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-23237","score":0.00215,"percentile":0.11959,"date":"2026-10-31"},"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).
