In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: common: stsensors: 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 devinfo() don't seem to cause a panic, but are fixed as well. The issue is reported and traced here: [1]
