In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: common: st_sensors: Fix use of uninitialize device structs
Throughout the various probe functions &indiodev->dev is used before it is initialized. This caused a kernel panic in stsensorspowerenable() when the call to devmregulatorbulkgetenable() fails and then calls deverrprobe() with the uninitialized device.
This seems to only cause a panic with deverrprobe(), deverr(), devwarn() and dev_info() don't seem to cause a panic, but are fixed as well.
The issue is reported and traced here: [1]
