Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-09-15 15:02:04 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

hwmon: (pmbus_core) Fix NULL pointer dereference

Pass i2c_client to _pmbus_is_enabled to drop the assumption
that a regulator device is passed in.

This will fix the issue of a NULL pointer dereference when called from
_pmbus_get_flags.
