CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2024-56782
Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: x86: Add adev NULL check to acpi_quirk_skip_serdev_enumeration()
acpi_dev_hid_match() does not check for adev == NULL, dereferencing
it unconditional.
Add a check for adev being NULL before calling acpi_dev_hid_match().
At the moment acpi_quirk_skip_serdev_enumeration() is never called with
a controller_parent without an ACPI companion, but better safe than sorry.
