CVE-2025-37881
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: aspeed: Add NULL pointer check in ast_vhub_init_dev() The variable d->name, returned by devm_kasprintf(), could be NULL.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.30%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: aspeed: Add NULL pointer check in ast_vhub_init_dev() The variable d->name, returned by devm_kasprintf(), could be NULL.
