NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ocfs2-kmp-default package and not the ocfs2-kmp-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel before 5.17, drivers/phy/tegra/xusb.c mishandles the tegra_xusb_find_port_node return value. Callers expect NULL in the error case, but an error pointer is used.
