CVSS 3.1
5.3 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2024-24856
Medium (5.3). EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
The memory allocation function ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED does not guarantee a
successful allocation, but the subsequent code directly dereferences the
pointer that receives it, which may lead to null pointer dereference.
To fix this issue, a null pointer check should be added. If it is null,
return exception code AE_NO_MEMORY.
