GHSA-gm32-xqh2-ff6r: 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:of_numa: fix uninitialized memory nodes causing kernel panicWhen there are memory-only nodes (nodes without CPUs), these nodes are not
properly initialized, causing kernel panic during boot.of_numa_init
	of_numa_parse_cpu_nodes
		node_set(nid, numa_nodes_parsed);
	of_numa_parse_memory_nodesIn of_numa_parse_cpu_nodes, numa_nodes_parsed gets updated only for nodes
containing CPUs.  Memory-only nodes should have been updated in
of_numa_parse_memory_nodes, but they weren't.Subsequently, when free_area_init() attempts to access NODE_DATA() for
these uninitialized memory nodes, the kernel panics due to NULL pointer
dereference.This can be reproduced on ARM64 QEMU with 1 CPU and 2 memory nodes:qemu-system-aarch64 \
-cpu host -nographic \
-m 4G -smp 1 \
-machine virt,accel=kvm,gic-version=3,iommu=smmuv3 \
