Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: uvc: Fix ERR_PTR dereference in uvc_v4l2.c
Fix potential dereferencing of ERR_PTR() in find_format_by_pix()
and uvc_v4l2_enum_format().
Fix the following smatch errors:
drivers/usb/gadget/function/uvc_v4l2.c:124 find_format_by_pix()
error: 'fmtdesc' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()
drivers/usb/gadget/function/uvc_v4l2.c:392 uvc_v4l2_enum_format()
error: 'fmtdesc' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()
Also, fix similar issue in uvc_v4l2_try_format() for potential
dereferencing of ERR_PTR().
