Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
scsi: target: Fix NULL pointer dereference in core_scsi3_decode_spec_i_port()<br />
<br />
The function core_scsi3_decode_spec_i_port(), in its error code path,<br />
unconditionally calls core_scsi3_lunacl_undepend_item() passing the<br />
dest_se_deve pointer, which may be NULL.<br />
<br />
This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference if dest_se_deve remains<br />
unset.<br />
<br />
SPC-3 PR SPEC_I_PT: Unable to locate dest_tpg<br />
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address dfff800000000012<br />
Call trace:<br />
core_scsi3_lunacl_undepend_item+0x2c/0xf0 [target_core_mod] (P)<br />
core_scsi3_decode_spec_i_port+0x120c/0x1c30 [target_core_mod]<br />
core_scsi3_emulate_pro_register+0x6b8/0xcd8 [target_core_mod]<br />
target_scsi3_emulate_pr_out+0x56c/0x840 [target_core_mod]<br />
<br />
Fix this by adding a NULL check before calling<br />
core_scsi3_lunacl_undepend_item()
