Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mfd: macsmc: Initialize mutex
Initialize struct apple_smc's mutex in apple_smc_probe(). Using the mutex uninitialized surprisingly resulted only in occasional NULL pointer dereferences in apple_smc_read() calls from the probe() functions of sub devices.
