Summary

In the Linux kernel from 6.7, the nouveau GPU driver's GA100 chip table lacks the SEC2 entry. Without it, the GSP-RM boot path dereferences a NULL SEC2 pointer and the system crashes.

Description from the CNA

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/nouveau/gsp: add SEC2 to GA100 chip table The booter-load and booter-unload firmware run on the SEC2 falcon. During tu102_gsp_oneinit(), the booter constructor needs device->sec2 to access the SEC2 falcon. Without the .sec2 entry, device->sec2 is NULL and this dereference crashes during GSP-RM boot.
