Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-05-02 18:31 – Updated: 2025-11-10 18:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: pn533: initialize struct pn533_out_arg properly
struct pn533_out_arg used as a temporary context for out_urb is not initialized properly. Its uninitialized 'phy' field can be dereferenced in error cases inside pn533_out_complete() callback function. It causes the following failure:
