Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: toshiba_acpi: Fix array out-of-bounds access In order to use toshiba_dmi_quirks[] together with the standard DMI matching functions, it must be terminated by a empty entry. Since this entry is missing, an array out-of-bounds access occurs every time the quirk list is processed. Fix this by adding the terminating empty entry.
