  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nssb: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in ssb_device_uevent()\n\nThe ssb_device_uevent() function first attempts to convert the \u0027dev\u0027 pointer\nto \u0027struct ssb_device *\u0027. However, it mistakenly dereferences \u0027dev\u0027 before\nperforming the NULL check, potentially leading to a NULL pointer\ndereference if \u0027dev\u0027 is NULL.\n\nTo fix this issue, move the NULL check before dereferencing the \u0027dev\u0027 pointer,\nensuring that the pointer is valid before attempting to use it.\n\nFound by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.",
