Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-11-12 11:02:24 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

PM / devfreq: mtk-cci: Fix potential error pointer dereference in probe()

The drv->sram_reg pointer could be set to ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER) which
would lead to a error pointer dereference.  Use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to check
that the pointer is valid.
