  - platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: Fix kobject warnings for empty attribute names The hp-bioscfg driver attempts to     register kobjects with empty names when the HP BIOS returns attributes with empty name strings. This     causes multiple kernel warnings: kobject: (00000000135fb5e6): attempted to be registered with empty name!     WARNING: CPU: 14 PID: 3336 at lib/kobject.c:219 kobject_add_internal+0x2eb/0x310 Add validation in     hp_init_bios_buffer_attribute() to check if the attribute name is empty after parsing it from the WMI     buffer. If empty, log a debug message and skip registration of that attribute, allowing the module to     continue processing other valid attributes. (CVE-2026-23131)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
