      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndevice property: initialize the remaining fields of fwnode_handle in fwnode_init()\n\nIf a firmware node is allocated on the stack (for instance: temporary\nsoftware node whose life-time we control) or on the heap - but using a\nnon-zeroing allocation function - and initialized using fwnode_init(),\nits secondary pointer will contain uninitialized memory which likely\nwill be neither NULL nor IS_ERR() and so may end up being dereferenced\n(for example: in dev_to_swnode()). Set fwnode->secondary to NULL on\ninitialization. While at it: initialize the remaining fields of struct\nfwnode_handle too just to be sure.\n\n[ Fix typo in commit message. - Danilo ]",
