- Summary
- staging: bcm2835-camera: Initialise dev in v4l2_dev
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: bcm2835-camera: Initialise dev in v4l2_dev
Commit 42a2f6664e18 ("staging: vc04services: Move global gstate to vchiqstate") changed mmalinit to pass dev->v4l2dev.dev to vchiqmmalinit, however nothing iniitialised dev->v4l2dev, so we got a NULL pointer dereference.
Set dev->v4l2dev.dev during bcm2835mmalprobe. The device pointer could be passed into v4l2device_register to set it, however that also has other effects that would need additional changes.
