| Subject: CVE-2021-47385: hwmon: (w83792d) Fix NULL pointer dereference by removing unnecessary structure field |
| |
| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: |
| |
| hwmon: (w83792d) Fix NULL pointer dereference by removing unnecessary structure field |
| |
| If driver read val value sufficient for |
| (val & 0x08) && (!(val & 0x80)) && ((val & 0x7) == ((val >> 4) & 0x7)) |
| from device then Null pointer dereference occurs. |
| (It is possible if tmp = 0b0xyz1xyz, where same literals mean same numbers) |
| Also lm75[] does not serve a purpose anymore after switching to |
| devm_i2c_new_dummy_device() in w83791d_detect_subclients(). |
| |
| The patch fixes possible NULL pointer dereference by removing lm75[]. |
| |
| Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org). |
| |

| The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2021-47385 to this issue. |

| Mitigation |
| ========== |
| |
| The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest |
| stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual |
| changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel |
| release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or |
| supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to |
| the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this |
| issue can be found at these commits: |
