Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: i2c: tc358743: Fix crash in the probe error path when using polling
If an error occurs in the probe() function, we should remove the polling
timer that was alarmed earlier, otherwise the timer is called with
arguments that are already freed, which results in a crash.
