Unfortunately both\ncallbacks have the very same form, and the compiler didn't complain\nit, either.  This resulted in a NULL dereference because the PCM\ninstance hasn't been initialized at calling the build_controls\ncallback.\n\nFix it by passing the proper entries.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/82420bd4e17bdaba8453fbf9e10c58c9ed0c9727","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d2aed6fac1148528181affb781aa683d6569042b"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:17:07.138532058+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-68205","score":0.00185,"percentile":0.07986,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
