Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: phy: micrel: Allow probing without .driver_data

and the .driver_data is not, a NULL pointer dereference happens.
Allow passing .probe without .driver_data by inserting NULL checks
for priv->type.
