CVE-2024-43874 (Moderate severity, published 2024-08-20)
CVSS score: 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CWE: CWE-476
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: ccp - Fix null pointer dereference in __sev_snp_shutdown_locked

Fix a null pointer dereference induced by DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE.
Return from __sev_snp_shutdown_locked() if the psp_device or the
sev_device structs are not initialized. Without the fix, the driver will
produce the following splat:

   ccp 0000:55:00.5: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
   ccp 0000:55:00.5: sev enabled
   ccp 0000:55:00.5: psp enabled
