Summary
[none]
Details

The memory allocation function ACPIALLOCATEZEROED does not guarantee a successful allocation, but the subsequent code directly dereferences the pointer that receives it, which may lead to null pointer dereference. To fix this issue, a null pointer check should be added. If it is null, return exception code AENOMEMORY.
