Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `pseries/papr-hvpipe` component. A local user could trigger a null pointer dereference in the `papr_hvpipe_dev_create_handle()` function. This occurs when `src_info` is improperly re-used after being nulled, leading to a kernel panic. This vulnerability could result in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.
