Last modified
CVE-2025-21982 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinctrl: nuvoton: npcm8xx: Add NULL check in npcm8xx_gpio_fw devm_kasprintf() calls can return null pointers on failure. But the return values were not checked in npcm8xx_gpio_fw(). Add NULL check in npcm8xx_gpio_fw(), to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference error.. EPSS estimates a 0.16% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
