Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure in the aml_spisg_clk_init process due to incomplete initialization of the clk_init_data structure. An attacker can cause a crash or potentially access unintended information by exploiting uninitialized memory when certain kernel configuration options are enabled.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
