Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2021-46994
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A null dereference error occurs in the Linux kernel when resuming after suspend, even when the interface was not previously enabled. This is caused by the driver queuing work via `priv->restart work` before the interface is brought up. The issue is resolved by moving the workqueue initialization to `mcp251x can probe()`.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
