Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ACPI: processor: Fix previous acpi_processor_errata_piix4() fix<br />
<br />
After commi f132e089fe89 ("ACPI: processor: Fix NULL-pointer dereference<br />
in acpi_processor_errata_piix4()"), device pointers may be dereferenced<br />
after dropping references to the device objects pointed to by them,<br />
which may cause a use-after-free to occur.<br />
<br />
Moreover, debug messages about enabling the errata may be printed<br />
if the errata flags corresponding to them are unset.<br />
<br />
Address all of these issues by moving message printing to the points<br />
in the code where the errata flags are set.
