CVE-2025-38143
Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
backlight: pm8941: Add NULL check in wled_configure()
devm_kasprintf() returns NULL when memory allocation fails. Currently, wled_configure() does not check for this case, which results in a NULL pointer dereference.
Add NULL check after devm_kasprintf() to prevent this issue.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
