Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
scsi: lpfc: Fix a possible null pointer dereference<br />
<br />
In function lpfc_xcvr_data_show, the memory allocation with kmalloc might<br />
fail, thereby making rdp_context a null pointer. In the following context<br />
and functions that use this pointer, there are dereferencing operations,<br />
leading to null pointer dereference.<br />
<br />
To fix this issue, a null pointer check should be added. If it is null,<br />
use scnprintf to notify the user and return len.
