CVE-2025-37910 ptp: ocp: Fix NULL dereference in Adva board SMA sysfs operations

What is CVE-2025-37910?

CVE-2025-37910 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 20 May 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

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

ptp: ocp: Fix NULL dereference in Adva board SMA sysfs operations

On Adva boards, SMA sysfs store/get operations can call __handle_signal_outputs() or __handle_signal_inputs() while the `irig` and `dcf` pointers are uninitialized, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in __handle_signal() and causing a kernel crash. Adva boards don't use `irig` or `dcf` functionality, so add Adva-specific callbacks `ptp_ocp_sma_adva_set_outputs()` and `ptp_ocp_sma_adva_set_inputs()` that avoid invoking `irig` or `dcf` input/output routines.

Weakness: CWE-476
