In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:hwmon: (w83792d) Fix NULL pointer dereference by removing unnecessary structure fieldIf driver read val value sufficient for
(val & 0x08) && (!(val & 0x80)) && ((val & 0x7) == ((val >> 4) & 0x7))
from device then Null pointer dereference occurs.
(It is possible if tmp = 0b0xyz1xyz, where same literals mean same numbers)
Also lm75[] does not serve a purpose anymore after switching to
devm_i2c_new_dummy_device() in w83791d_detect_subclients().The patch fixes possible NULL pointer dereference by removing lm75[].Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).[groeck: Dropped unnecessary continuation lines, fixed multipline alignment]
