CVE-2022-49806
Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: microchip: sparx5: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in sparx_stats_init() and sparx5_start()
sparx_stats_init() calls create_singlethread_workqueue() and not checked the ret value, which may return NULL. And a null-ptr-deref may happen:
Check the ret value and return -ENOMEM if it is NULL. So as sparx5_start().
