Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-07-03 09:03:07 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

soc: aspeed: Add NULL check in aspeed_lpc_enable_snoop()

devm_kasprintf() returns NULL when memory allocation fails. Currently,
aspeed_lpc_enable_snoop() does not check for this case, which results in a
NULL pointer dereference.

Add NULL check after devm_kasprintf() to prevent this issue.
