## Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

HID: multitouch: Add NULL check in mt_input_configured

devm_kasprintf() can return a NULL pointer on failure,but this
returned value in mt_input_configured() is not checked.
Add NULL check in mt_input_configured(), to handle kernel NULL
pointer dereference error.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 4.14.326, < 4.15`
- `linux_kernel >= 4.19.295, < 4.20`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.4.257, < 5.5`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.10.195, < 5.11`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.15.132, < 5.16`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.1.53, < 6.1.129`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.4.16, < 6.5`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.5.3, < 6.6.79`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.12.16`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.13, < 6.13.4`
- `linux_kernel = 6.14`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.13.4`
