Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
mlxsw: spectrum_acl_tcam: Fix NULL pointer dereference in error path<br />
<br />
When calling mlxsw_sp_acl_tcam_region_destroy() from an error path after<br />
failing to attach the region to an ACL group, we hit a NULL pointer<br />
dereference upon &#39;region->group->tcam&#39; [1].<br />
<br />
Fix by retrieving the &#39;tcam&#39; pointer using mlxsw_sp_acl_to_tcam().<br />
<br />
