      <title>CVE-2025-38296 — ACPI: platform_profile: Avoid initializing on non-ACPI platforms</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-38296</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ACPI: platform_profile: Avoid initializing on non-ACPI platforms&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The platform profile driver is loaded even on platforms that do not have
ACPI enabled. The initialization of the sysfs entries was recently moved
from platform_profile_register() to the module init call, and those
entries need acpi_kobj to be initialized which is not the case when ACPI
is disabled.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This results in the following warning:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 1 at fs/sysfs/group.c:131 internal_create_group+0xa22/0xdd8

&lt;p&gt;Fix this by checking if ACPI is enabled before trying to create sysfs
entries.&lt;/p&gt;
