CVE-2022-50282
Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
chardev: fix error handling in cdev_device_add()
While doing fault injection test, I got the following report:
When device_add() is injected fault and returns error, if dev->devt is not set, cdev_add() is not called, cdev_del() is not needed. Fix this by checking dev->devt in error path.
