Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-24 12:02:54 UTC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ACPICA: ACPICA: check null return of ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED in acpi_db_display_objects

ACPICA commit 0d5f467d6a0ba852ea3aad68663cbcbd43300fd4

ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED may fails, object_info might be null and will cause
null pointer dereference later.
