Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
media: dvb-usb: az6027: fix null-ptr-deref in az6027_i2c_xfer()<br />
<br />
Wei Chen reports a kernel bug as blew:<br />
<br />
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address<br />
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017]<br />
...<br />

<br />
In az6027_i2c_xfer(), if msg[i].addr is 0x99,<br />
a null-ptr-deref will caused when accessing msg[i].buf.<br />
For msg[i].len is 0 and msg[i].buf is null.<br />
<br />
Fix this by checking msg[i].len in az6027_i2c_xfer().
