CVE-2024-46856
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: phy: dp83822: Fix NULL pointer dereference on DP83825 devices
The probe() function is only used for DP83822 and DP83826 PHY,
leaving the private data pointer uninitialized for the DP83825 models
which causes a NULL pointer dereference in the recently introduced/changed
functions dp8382x_config_init() and dp83822_set_wol().
Add the dp8382x_probe() function, so all PHY models will have a valid
private data pointer to fix this issue and also prevent similar issues
in the future.
