Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
cpufreq/longhaul: handle NULL policy in longhaul_exit<br />
<br />
longhaul_exit() was calling cpufreq_cpu_get(0) without checking<br />
for a NULL policy pointer. On some systems, this could lead to a<br />
NULL dereference and a kernel warning or panic.<br />
<br />
This patch adds a check using unlikely() and returns early if the<br />
policy is NULL.<br />
<br />
Bugzilla: #219962
