In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: eswin: Zero-initialize stack-allocated clk_init_data
eswin_clk_register_pll() and eswin_register_clkdiv() declare a struct
clk_init_data on the stack and only initialize some of its fields
(parent_data respectively parent_hws). clk_core_populate_parent_map()
checks parent_names first and parent_data second before falling back
to parent_hws, so leftover stack garbage in the uninitialized fields
hijacks parent resolution and the clk core dereferences a bogus
pointer:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000000000000c
