Type:
CWE-476
NULL Pointer Dereference

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
clk: rs9: Reserve 8 struct clk_hw slots for for 9FGV0841<br />
<br />
The 9FGV0841 has 8 outputs and registers 8 struct clk_hw, make sure<br />
there are 8 slots for those newly registered clk_hw pointers, else<br />
there is going to be out of bounds write when pointers 4..7 are set<br />
into struct rs9_driver_data .clk_dif[4..7] field.<br />
<br />
Since there are other structure members past this struct clk_hw<br />
pointer array, writing to .clk_dif[4..7] fields corrupts both<br />
the struct rs9_driver_data content and data around it, sometimes<br />
without crashing the kernel. However, the kernel does surely<br />
crash when the driver is unbound or during suspend.<br />
<br />
Fix this, increase the struct clk_hw pointer array size to the<br />
maximum output count of 9FGV0841, which is the biggest chip that<br />
is supported by this driver.
