In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal: Fix NULL pointer dereferences in of_thermal_ functions
of_parse_thermal_zones() parses the thermal-zones node and registers a
thermal_zone device for each subnode. However, if a thermal zone is
consuming a thermal sensor and that thermal sensor device hasn’t probed
yet, an attempt to set trip_point_*_temp for that thermal zone device can
cause a NULL pointer dereference. Fix it.
