Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
gve: add missing NULL check for gve_alloc_pending_packet() in TX DQO<br />
<br />
gve_alloc_pending_packet() can return NULL, but gve_tx_add_skb_dqo()<br />
did not check for this case before dereferencing the returned pointer.<br />
<br />
Add a missing NULL check to prevent a potential NULL pointer<br />
dereference when allocation fails.<br />
<br />
This improves robustness in low-memory scenarios.
