In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/9p/usbg: fix handling of the failed kzalloc() memory allocation
On the linux-next, next-20241108 vanilla kernel, the coccinelle tool gave the
following error report:

NULL not ERR_PTR on failure
kzalloc() failure is fixed to handle the NULL return case on the memory exhaustion.
