CVE-2026-23131

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: Fix kobject warnings for empty attribute names<br /> <br /> The hp-bioscfg driver attempts to register kobjects with empty names when<br /> the HP BIOS returns attributes with empty name strings. This causes<br /> multiple kernel warnings:<br /> <br /> kobject: (00000000135fb5e6): attempted to be registered with empty name!<br /> WARNING: CPU: 14 PID: 3336 at lib/kobject.c:219 kobject_add_internal+0x2eb/0x310<br /> <br /> Add validation in hp_init_bios_buffer_attribute() to check if the<br /> attribute name is empty after parsing it from the WMI buffer. If empty,<br /> log a debug message and skip registration of that attribute, allowing the<br /> module to continue processing other valid attributes.
