A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernels drivers/gpu/drm/msm/msm_gem_submit.c code in the submit_lookup_cmds function, which fails because it lacks a check of the return value of kmalloc(). This issue allows a local user to crash the system.
A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
