      <title>CVE-2025-38113 — ACPI: CPPC: Fix NULL pointer dereference when nosmp is used</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-38113</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ACPI: CPPC: Fix NULL pointer dereference when nosmp is used&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With nosmp in cmdline, other CPUs are not brought up, leaving
their cpc_desc_ptr NULL. CPU0&amp;#39;s iteration via for_each_possible_cpu()
dereferences these NULL pointers, causing panic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Panic backtrace:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[    0.401123] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000b8
...
[    0.403255] [&amp;lt;ffffffff809a5818&amp;gt;] cppc_allow_fast_switch+0x6a/0xd4
...
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!&lt;/p&gt;
