Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ionic: catch failure from devlink_alloc<br />
<br />
Add a check for NULL on the alloc return. If devlink_alloc() fails and<br />
we try to use devlink_priv() on the NULL return, the kernel gets very<br />
unhappy and panics. With this fix, the driver load will still fail,<br />
but at least it won&#39;t panic the kernel.
