Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> i2c: core: fix NULL-deref on adapter registration failure<br /> <br /> If adapter registration ever fails the release callback would trigger a<br /> NULL-pointer dereference as the completion struct has not been<br /> initialised.<br /> <br /> Note that before the offending commit this would instead have resulted<br /> in a minor memory leak of the adapter name.
