Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cppc_cpufreq: Fix possible null pointer dereference
cppc_cpufreq_get_rate() and hisi_cppc_cpufreq_get_rate() can be called from
different places with various parameters. So cpufreq_cpu_get() can return
null as 'policy' in some circumstances.
Fix this bug by adding null return check.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in cppc_cpufreq_get_rate() in the Linux kernel. This issue may result in a crash.
