Descriptions

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

sfc: fix null pointer dereference in efx_hard_start_xmit

Trying to get the channel from the tx_queue variable here is wrong
because we can only be here if tx_queue is NULL, so we shouldn't
dereference it. As the above comment in the code says, this is very
unlikely to happen, but it's wrong anyway so let's fix it.

I hit this issue because of a different bug that caused tx_queue to be
NULL. If that happens, this is the error message that we get here:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020
[...]
RIP: 0010:efx_hard_start_xmit+0x153/0x170 [sfc]

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: sfc: corrige la desreferencia del puntero nulo en efx_hard_start_xmit Intentar obtener el canal de la variable tx_queue aquí es incorrecto porque solo podemos estar aquí si tx_queue es NULL, por lo que no debemos desreferenciarlo. Como dice el comentario anterior en el código, es muy poco probable que esto suceda, pero de todos modos está mal, así que solucionémoslo. Encontré este problema debido a un error diferente que provocó que tx_queue fuera NULL. Si eso sucede, este es el mensaje de error que recibimos aquí: ERROR: no se puede manejar la desreferencia del puntero NULL del kernel en 0000000000000020 [...] RIP: 0010:efx_hard_start_xmit+0x153/0x170 [sfc]
