A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in the Intel Adaptive Virtual Function (iavf) network driver in the Linux kernel. The driver registers a PTP clock device but does not implement the settime64() callback. When ptp_clock_settime() is called, it assumes the callback exists and dereferences a NULL function pointer, causing a kernel crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iavf: Implement settime64 with -EOPNOTSUPP ptp_clock_settime() assumes every ptp_clock has implemented settime64(). Stub it with -EOPNOTSUPP to prevent a NULL dereference. The fix is similar to commit 329d050bbe63 ("gve: Implement settime64 with -EOPNOTSUPP").
