CVE-2021-46995
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: mcp251xfd: mcp251xfd_probe(): fix an error pointer dereference in probe When we converted this code to use dev_err_probe() we accidentally removed a return.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.21%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: mcp251xfd: mcp251xfd_probe(): fix an error pointer dereference in probe When we converted this code to use dev_err_probe() we accidentally removed a return. It means that if devm_clk_get() it will lead to an Oops when we call clk_get_rate() on the next line.
