Subject: CVE-2021-46995: can: mcp251xfd: mcp251xfd_probe(): fix an error pointer dereference in probe

From: gregkh@...nel.org

Description
===========

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

can: mcp251xfd: mcp251xfd_probe(): fix an error pointer dereference in probe

When we converted this code to use dev_err_probe() we accidentally
removed a return. It means that if devm_clk_get() it will lead to an
Oops when we call clk_get_rate() on the next line.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2021-46995 to this issue.


Affected and fixed versions
===========================

	Issue introduced in 5.12 with commit cf8ee6de2543 and fixed in 5.12.5 with commit 15f8f96ec7fc

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
