    ACPICA: Avoid undefined behavior: applying zero offset to null pointer

    Add a simple check that avoids incrementing a pointer by zero, but
    otherwise behaves as before. Note that our findings are against ACPICA
    20221020, but the same code exists on master.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
