AI-suggested

A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel by adding a NULL check in mt_input_configured. Users should update to the fixed kernel versions listed to mitigate this issue.

Description

A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was fixed in the Linux kernel's HID multitouch driver. The function mt_input_configured did not check the return value of devm_kasprintf(), which can return NULL on failure, potentially leading to a kernel NULL pointer dereference error.
