CVE-2022-49046

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

i2c: dev: check return value when calling dev_set_name()

If dev_set_name() fails, the dev_name() is null, check the return value of dev_set_name() to avoid the null-ptr-deref.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP5 kernel was updated to receive various security bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:
