Summary

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

isdn: mISDN: netjet: Fix crash in nj_probe:

'nj_setup' in netjet.c might fail with -EIO and in this case 'card->irq' is initialized and is bigger than zero. A subsequent call to 'nj_release' will free the irq that has not been requested.

Fix this bug by deleting the previous assignment to 'card->irq' and just keep the assignment before 'request_irq'.

The KASAN's log reveals it:
