NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-zfcpdump-devel package and not the kernel-zfcpdump-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

powercap: intel_rapl: Fix a NULL pointer dereference

A NULL pointer dereference is triggered when probing the MMIO RAPL driver on platforms with CPU ID not listed in intel_rapl_common CPU model list.

This is because the intel_rapl_common module still probes on such platforms even if 'defaults_msr' is not set after commit 1488ac990ac8 ("powercap: intel_rapl: Allow probing without CPUID match"). Thus the MMIO RAPL rp->priv->defaults is NULL when registering to RAPL framework.

Fix the problem by adding sanity check to ensure rp->priv->rapl_defaults is always valid.
