Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2022-49618
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A potential NULL dereference issue in the `aspeed pinmux set mux()` function has been identified. The `pdesc` could be null, but the code still attempts to dereference `pdesc->name`, leading to a null pointer access. To address this, a null check has been added before the dereference.
**Recommendations**
For the affected Linux kernel versions, consider applying the patch that adds a null check before dereferencing `pdesc` in the `aspeed pinmux set mux()` function.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
