In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: au1000: move setting of netops to fix crash
au1000 probe() calls au1000 mii probe(), which connects the PHY,
before dev->netdev ops is assigned. phy attach direct() ->
phy link topo add phy() reads dev->netdev ops through
netdev need ops lock() since the commit in question, so probing crashes
with a NULL pointer dereference when CONFIG NET SHAPER is enabled.
Assign netdev ops before the PHY attach, as was done for emac in commit
7c9f391ec89c ("net: emac: move setting of netops to fix crash").
