Descriptions

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

mlxsw: spectrum_acl_tcam: Fix NULL pointer dereference in error path

When calling mlxsw_sp_acl_tcam_region_destroy() from an error path after
failing to attach the region to an ACL group, we hit a NULL pointer
dereference upon 'region->group->tcam' [1].

Fix by retrieving the 'tcam' pointer using mlxsw_sp_acl_to_tcam().

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: mlxsw: espectro_acl_tcam: corrige la desreferencia del puntero NULL en la ruta de error Al llamar a mlxsw_sp_acl_tcam_region_destroy() desde una ruta de error después de no poder adjuntar la región a un grupo de ACL, alcanzamos una desreferencia del puntero NULL al 'región->grupo->tcam' [1]. Solucione recuperando el puntero 'tcam' usando mlxsw_sp_acl_to_tcam().
