Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-09-18 07:21:00 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

driver: iio: add missing checks on iio_info's callback access

Some callbacks from iio_info structure are accessed without any check, so
if a driver doesn't implement them trying to access the corresponding
sysfs entries produce a kernel oops such as:

[ 2203.527791] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 when execute
