CVE-2025-38610

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: powercap: dtpm_cpu: Fix NULL pointer dereference in get_pd_power_uw() The get_pd_power_uw() function can crash with a NULL pointer dereference when em_cpu_get() returns NULL. This occurs when a CPU becomes impossible during runtime, causing get_cpu_device() to return NULL, which propagates through em_cpu_get() and leads to a crash when em_span_cpus() dereferences the NULL pointer. Add a NULL check after em_cpu_get() and return 0 if unavailable, matching the existing fallback behavior in __dtpm_cpu_setup(). [ rjw: Drop an excess empty code line ]

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: powercap: dtpm_cpu: Corrección de la desreferencia de puntero nulo en get_pd_power_uw(). La función get_pd_power_uw() puede fallar con una desreferencia de puntero nulo cuando em_cpu_get() devuelve NULL. Esto ocurre cuando una CPU se vuelve inoperativa durante la ejecución, lo que provoca que get_cpu_device() devuelva NULL. Este comportamiento se propaga a través de em_cpu_get() y provoca un fallo cuando em_span_cpus() desreferencia el puntero nulo. Se añade una comprobación de NULL después de em_cpu_get() y se devuelve 0 si no está disponible, coincidiendo con el comportamiento de reserva existente en __dtpm_cpu_setup().
