GHSA-5JX9-3P7F-55G3

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-02-27 21:32 – Updated: 2025-10-28 03:30

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ptp: vmclock: Set driver data before its usage

If vmclock_ptp_register() fails during probing, vmclock_remove() is called to clean up the ptp clock and misc device. It uses dev_get_drvdata() to access the vmclock state. However the driver data is not yet set at this point.

Assign the driver data earlier.

Severity ?

5.5 (Medium)
