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.
