Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: arcnet: com20020: Fix null-ptr-deref in com20020pci_probe() During driver initialization, the pointer of card info, i.e. the
variable 'ci' is required. However, the definition of
'com20020pci_id_table' reveals that this field is empty for some
devices, which will cause null pointer dereference when initializing
these devices. The following log reveals it: [ 3.973806] KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000028-0x000000000000002f]
