CVE-2021-47652 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

video: fbdev: smscufx: Fix null-ptr-deref in ufx_usb_probe()

I got a null-ptr-deref report:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference address: 0000000000000000 … RIP: 0010:fb_destroy_modelist+0x38/0x100 … Call Trace: ufx_usb_probe.cold+0x2b5/0xac1 [smscufx] usb_probe_interface+0x1aa/0x3c0 [usbcore] really_probe+0x167/0x460 … ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30

If fb_alloc_cmap() fails in ufx_usb_probe() fb_destroy_modelist() will be called to destroy modelist in the error handling path. But modelist has not been initialized yet so it will result in null-ptr-deref.

Initialize modelist before calling fb_alloc_cmap() to fix this bug.
