CWE-476
NULL Pointer Dereference

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ice: fix potential NULL pointer deref in error path of ice_set_ringparam()<br />
<br />
ice_set_ringparam nullifies tstamp_ring of temporary tx_rings, without<br />
clearing ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_TXTIME bit.<br />
When ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_TXTIME is set and the subsequent<br />
ice_setup_tx_ring() call fails, a NULL pointer dereference could happen<br />
in the unwinding sequence:<br />
<br />
ice_clean_tx_ring()<br />
-> ice_is_txtime_cfg() == true (ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_TXTIME is set)<br />
-> ice_free_tx_tstamp_ring()<br />
-> ice_free_tstamp_ring()<br />
-> tstamp_ring->desc (NULL deref)<br />
<br />
Clear ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_TXTIME bit to avoid the potential issue.<br />
<br />
Note that this potential issue is found by manual code review.<br />
Compile test only since unfortunately I don&#39;t have E830 devices.
