In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

driver: iio: add missing checks on iio_info's callback access

Some callbacks from iio_info structure are accessed without any check, so

if a driver doesn't implement them trying to access the corresponding

sysfs entries produce a kernel oops such as:
