Details

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

tty: synclinkgt: Fix null-pointer-dereference in slgtclean()

When the driver fails at alloc_hdlcdev(), and then we remove the driver module, we will get the following splat:

[ 25.065966] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000182: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI [ 25.066914] KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000c10-0x0000000000000c17] [ 25.069262] RIP: 0010:detachhdlcprotocol+0x2a/0x3e0 [ 25.077709] Call Trace: [ 25.077924] <TASK> [ 25.078108] unregisterhdlcdevice+0x16/0x30 [ 25.078481] slgtcleanup+0x157/0x9f0 [synclinkgt]

Fix this by checking whether the 'info->netdev' is a null pointer first.
