commit e6e8df07268c1f75dd9215536e2ce4587b70f977 upstream. Add NULL checks to show() and store() in cpufreq.c to avoid attempts to invoke a NULL callback. Though some interfaces of cpufreq are set as read-only, users can still get write permission using chmod which can lead to a kernel crash, as follows: chmod +w /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq This bug was found in linux 4.19.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
