CVE-2022-48918 (2022)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iwlwifi: mvm: check debugfs_dir ptr before use

When "debugfs=off" is used on the kernel command line, iwiwifi's
mvm module uses an invalid/unchecked debugfs_dir pointer and causes
a BUG:

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000004f

Check the debugfs_dir pointer for an error before using it.
