CVE-2023-52471 is a NULL pointer dereference in the Linux kernel Intel Ethernet (ice) driver's PTP component. In ice_ptp.c, code paths used the result of devm_kasprintf() without adequately handling an allocation failure that returns NULL. The issue was introduced in Linux kernel 6.7 and corrected upstream in 6.7.2 and 6.8-rc1 by adding NULL-return handling.
