# CVE-2021-47202

> 3.1 LOW

## Beschreibung

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

thermal: Fix NULL pointer dereferences in of_thermal_ functions

of_parse_thermal_zones() parses the thermal-zones node and registers a
thermal_zone device for each subnode. However, if a thermal zone is
consuming a thermal sensor and that thermal sensor device hasn't probed
yet, an attempt to set trip_point_*_temp for that thermal zone device
can cause a NULL pointer dereference. Fix it.

 console:/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone87 # echo 120000 > trip_point_0_temp
 ...
 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000020
 ...

While at it, fix the possible NULL pointer dereference in other
functions as well: of_thermal_get_temp(), of_thermal_set_emul_temp(),
of_thermal_get_trend().
