NULL Pointer Dereference

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
x86/hyperv: Fix NULL deref in set_hv_tscchange_cb() if Hyper-V setup fails<br />
<br />
Check for a valid hv_vp_index array prior to derefencing hv_vp_index when<br />
setting Hyper-V&#39;s TSC change callback. If Hyper-V setup failed in<br />
hyperv_init(), the kernel will still report that it&#39;s running under<br />
Hyper-V, but will have silently disabled nearly all functionality.<br />
<br />
