Summary
CVE-2024-46844 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel. In the function setup_one_line(), the error_out pointer wasn't being initialized by callers in some instances. However, the pointer was still being printed in those cases. To address this issue, the Linux kernel team has resolved it by ensuring that the error_out pointer is always initialized in setup_one_line(). This fix mitigates the risk of potential errors or security vulnerabilities that could arise due to an uninitialized pointer.
