NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-64k-debug-devel-matched package and not the kernel-rt-64k-debug-devel-matched package as distributed by RHEL.

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

ionic: catch failure from devlink_alloc

Add a check for NULL on the alloc return. If devlink_alloc() fails and we try to use devlink_priv() on the NULL return, the kernel gets very unhappy and panics. With this fix, the driver load will still fail, but at least it won't panic the kernel.
