The check for `label->str != NULL` is removed because\n`label->str` can never be NULL if `label` is not NULL.\n\nThis fixes the issue where the label name was being printed as `(efault)`\nwhen dumping the sysfs GPIO file when `label == NULL`." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "n/a" } ] } ] }, "affects": { "vendor": { "vendor_data": [ { "vendor_name": "Linux", "product": { "product_data": [ { "product_name": "Linux", "version": { "version_data": [ { "version_affected": "<", "version_name": "a86d27693066", "version_value": "9ee4b907d7a5" }, { "version_value": "not down converted", "x_cve_json_5_version_data": { "versions": [ { "version": "6.9", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.9", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.11.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.11.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ], "defaultStatus": "affected" } } ] } } ] } } ] } }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9ee4b907d7a5d7a53b4ff7727c371ff3d44ccbbb", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9ee4b907d7a5d7a53b4ff7727c371ff3d44ccbbb" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7b99b5ab885993bff010ebcd93be5e511c56e28a", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7b99b5ab885993bff010ebcd93be5e511c56e28a" } ] }, "generator": { "engine": "bippy-8e903de6a542" } }
