Descriptions

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

usb: typec: tcpm: Fix NULL pointer dereference in tcpm_pd_svdm()

It is possible that typec_register_partner() returns ERR_PTR on failure.
When port->partner is an error, a NULL pointer dereference may occur as
shown below.

Add a check for port->partner to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: usb: typec: tcpm: corrige la desreferencia del puntero NULL en tcpm_pd_svdm(). Es posible que typec_register_partner() devuelva ERR_PTR en caso de fallo. Cuando port->partner es un error, puede ocurrir una desreferencia de puntero NULL como se muestra a continuación.
