Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ACPI: processor: Update cpuidle driver check in __acpi_processor_start()<br />
<br />
Commit 7a8c994cbb2d ("ACPI: processor: idle: Optimize ACPI idle<br />
driver registration") moved the ACPI idle driver registration to<br />
acpi_processor_driver_init() and acpi_processor_power_init() does<br />
not register an idle driver any more.<br />
<br />
Accordingly, the cpuidle driver check in __acpi_processor_start() needs<br />
to be updated to avoid calling acpi_processor_power_init() without a<br />
cpuidle driver, in which case the registration of the cpuidle device<br />
in that function would lead to a NULL pointer dereference in<br />
__cpuidle_register_device().
