Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ptp: ocp: Fix NULL dereference in Adva board SMA sysfs operations On Adva boards, SMA sysfs store/get operations can call __handle_signal_outputs() or __handle_signal_inputs() while the `irig` and `dcf` pointers are uninitialized, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in __handle_signal() and causing a kernel crash. Adva boards don't use `irig` or `dcf` functionality, so add Adva-specific callbacks `ptp_ocp_sma_adva_set_outputs()` and `ptp_ocp_sma_adva_set_inputs()` that avoid invoking `irig` or `dcf` input/output routines.

Affected products

• Linux kernel: from 6.9 before 6.12.28; from 6.13 before 6.14.6; 6.15-rc1, 6.15-rc2, 6.15-rc3, 6.15-rc4 — fixed in 6.12.28, 6.14.6

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Linux kernel 6.12.28, 6.14.6. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
