Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.18%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cpufreq: apple-soc: Fix null-ptr-deref in apple_soc_cpufreq_get_rate() cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() can return NULL when the target CPU is not present in the policy->cpus mask. apple_soc_cpufreq_get_rate() does not check for this case, which results in a NULL pointer dereference.
