Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
tracing: Fix mmiotrace possible NULL dereferencing of hiter->dev<br />
<br />
If the mmio_pipe_open() fails to find a PCI device, the hiter->dev<br />
will be assigned to NULL. The mmiotrace read() function dereferences the<br />
hiter->dev if hiter exists.<br />
<br />
Change the test of the read to not only check hiter being NULL, but also<br />
the hiter->dev before dereferencing it.
