Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> ice: always check VF VSI pointer values<br /> <br /> The ice_get_vf_vsi function can return NULL in some cases, such as if<br /> handling messages during a reset where the VSI is being removed and<br /> recreated.<br /> <br /> Several places throughout the driver do not bother to check whether this<br /> VSI pointer is valid. Static analysis tools maybe report issues because<br /> they detect paths where a potentially NULL pointer could be dereferenced.<br /> <br /> Fix this by checking the return value of ice_get_vf_vsi everywhere.
