In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPI:
video: check for error while searching for backlight device parent If
acpi_get_parent() called in acpi_video_dev_register_backlight() fails, for
example, because acpi_ut_acquire_mutex() fails inside acpi_get_parent),
this can lead to incorrect (uninitialized) acpi_parent handle being passed
to acpi_get_pci_dev() for detecting the parent pci device. Check
acpi_get_parent() result and set parent device only in case of success.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
