Summary

In the Linux kernel's emac driver, there is a NULL pointer dereference in emac_probe. The function devm_request_irq() is called before devm_platform_ioremap_resource(), which can cause an interrupt to hit emac_irq() before dev->emacp is mapped, leading to a crash.

Risk Assessment

NULL pointer dereference can lead to system crash during driver initialization, potentially enabling a DoS attack.

Recommendation

Install a kernel patch that moves devm_request_irq() after devm_platform_ioremap_resource().

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: emac: Fix NULL pointer dereference in emac_probe Move devm_request_irq() after devm_platform_ioremap_resource() so that dev->emacp is mapped before the interrupt handler can fire. An early interrupt hitting emac_irq() would dereference the NULL dev->emacp and crash. Also remove redundant error message. devm_platform_ioremap_resource() already returns an error message with dev_err_probe().
