Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ethtool: tsinfo: don&#39;t pass ERR_PTR to genlmsg_cancel on prepare failure<br />
<br />
The goto err label leads to:<br />
<br />
genlmsg_cancel(skb, ehdr);<br />
return ret;<br />
<br />
If ethnl_tsinfo_prepare_dump() failed, it has not started a genlmsg.<br />
There&#39;s nothing to cancel, and passing an error pointer to<br />
genlmsg_cancel() would cause a crash.
