CVE-2022-49187
MEDIUMLinux Kernel 5.11-5.11, 5.11-5.15.33, 5.16-5.16.19, 5.17-5.17.2 - NULL Pointer Dereference in clk_hw_get_clk()
Title source: llmDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: clk: Fix clk_hw_get_clk() when dev is NULL Any registered clk_core structure can have a NULL pointer in its dev field. While never actually documented, this is evidenced by the wide usage of clk_register and clk_hw_register with a NULL device pointer, and the fact that the core of_clk_hw_register() function also passes a NULL device pointer. A call to clk_hw_get_clk() on a clk_hw struct whose clk_core is in that case will result in a NULL pointer derefence when it calls dev_name() on that NULL device pointer. Add a test for this case and use NULL as the dev_id if the device pointer is NULL.
