CVE-2026-43313

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> ACPI: processor: Fix NULL-pointer dereference in acpi_processor_errata_piix4()<br /> <br /> In acpi_processor_errata_piix4(), the pointer dev is first assigned an IDE<br /> device and then reassigned an ISA device:<br /> <br /> dev = pci_get_subsys(..., PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82371AB, ...);<br /> dev = pci_get_subsys(..., PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82371AB_0, ...);<br /> <br /> If the first lookup succeeds but the second fails, dev becomes NULL. This<br /> leads to a potential null-pointer dereference when dev_dbg() is called:<br /> <br /> if (errata.piix4.bmisx)<br /> dev_dbg(&amp;dev-&gt;dev, ...);<br /> <br /> To prevent this, use two temporary pointers and retrieve each device<br /> independently, avoiding overwriting dev with a possible NULL value.<br /> <br /> [ rjw: Subject adjustment, added an empty code line ]
