In 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:
