Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
device property: set fwnode->secondary to NULL in fwnode_init()
If a firmware node is allocated on the stack (for instance: temporary
software node whose life-time we control) or on the heap - but using a
non-zeroing allocation function - and initialized using fwnode_init(),
its secondary pointer will contain uninitalized memory which likely will
be neither NULL nor IS_ERR() and so may end up being dereferenced (for
example: in dev_to_swnode()). Set fwnode->secondary to NULL on
initialization.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.209)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.175)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.142)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.92)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.34)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 7.0.11)
• linux linux kernel 7.1
