      <title>CVE-2024-26978 — serial: max310x: fix NULL pointer dereference in I2C instantiation</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2024-26978</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;serial: max310x: fix NULL pointer dereference in I2C instantiation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When trying to instantiate a max14830 device from userspace:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;echo max14830 0x60 &amp;gt; /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-2/new_device&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;we get the following error:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address...
    ...
    Call trace:
        max310x_i2c_probe+0x48/0x170 [max310x]
        i2c_device_probe+0x150/0x2a0
    ...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Add check for validity of devtype to prevent the error, and abort probe
with a meaningful error message.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
