CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/476.html

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

LoongArch: Fix missing NULL checks for kstrdup()

  1. Replace of_find_node_by_path(/) with of_root to avoid multiple calls to of_node_put().

  2. Fix a potential kernel oops during early boot when memory allocation fails while parsing CPU model from device tree.

Weakness

The product dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid but is NULL.
