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: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000000: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007] CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 6.2.0-rc3-next-2023011
