Descriptions

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

net: phy: qcom: at803x: fix kernel panic with at8031_probe

On reworking and splitting the at803x driver, in splitting function of
at803x PHYs it was added a NULL dereference bug where priv is referenced
before it's actually allocated and then is tried to write to for the
is_1000basex and is_fiber variables in the case of at8031, writing on
the wrong address.

Fix this by correctly setting priv local variable only after
at803x_probe is called and actually allocates priv in the phydev struct.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net: phy: qcom: at803x: corrige el pánico del kernel con at8031_probe Al reelaborar y dividir el controlador at803x, en la función de división de los PHY de at803x se agregó un error de desreferencia NULL donde se hace referencia a priv antes de que realmente se asigne y luego se intenta escribir para las variables is_1000basex e is_fiber en el caso de at8031, escribiendo en la dirección incorrecta. Solucione este problema configurando correctamente la variable local priv solo después de llamar a at803x_probe y realmente asignar priv en la estructura phydev.
