  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  ACPI: processor: Update cpuidle driver check in __acpi_processor_start()  Commit 7a8c994cbb2d (\u0022ACPI: processor: idle: Optimize ACPI idle driver registration\u0022) moved the ACPI idle driver registration to acpi_processor_driver_init() and acpi_processor_power_init() does not register an idle driver any more.  Accordingly, the cpuidle driver check in __acpi_processor_start() needs to be updated to avoid calling acpi_processor_power_init() without a cpuidle driver, in which case the registration of the cpuidle device in that function would lead to a NULL pointer dereference in __cpuidle_register_device().",
