Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> hwmon: (cgbc-hwmon) Add missing NULL check after devm_kzalloc()<br /> <br /> The driver allocates memory for sensor data using devm_kzalloc(), but<br /> did not check if the allocation succeeded. In case of memory allocation<br /> failure, dereferencing the NULL pointer would lead to a kernel crash.<br /> <br /> Add a NULL pointer check and return -ENOMEM to handle allocation failure<br /> properly.
