Thus the\nMMIO RAPL rp->priv->defaults is NULL when registering to RAPL framework.\n\nFix the problem by adding sanity check to ensure rp->priv->rapl_defaults\nis always valid.","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/0641908b906a133f1494c312a71f9fecbe2b6c78","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2d1f5006ff95770da502f8cee2a224a1ff83866e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2f73cf2ae5e0f4e629db5be3a4380ff7807148e6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9b254feb249981b66ccdb1dae54e757789a15ba1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0641908b906a133f1494c312a71f9fecbe2b6c78"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:49:08.435428910+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-26975","score":0.00227,"percentile":0.13472,"date":"2026-11-01"},"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).
