In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (hp-wmi-sensors) Check if WMI event data exists The BIOS can choose to return no event data in response to a WMI event, so the ACPI object passed to the WMI notify handler can be NULL. Check for such a situation and ignore the event in such a case.
