In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver: iio: add missing checks on iio_info's callback access
Some callbacks from iio_info structure are accessed without any check, so
if a driver doesn't implement them trying to access the corresponding
sysfs entries produce a kernel oops such as:
[ 2203.527791] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 when execute
[...]
