Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
fpga: fix potential null pointer deref in fpga_mgr_test_img_load_sgt()<br />
<br />
fpga_mgr_test_img_load_sgt() allocates memory for sgt using<br />
kunit_kzalloc() however it does not check if the allocation failed.<br />
It then passes sgt to sg_alloc_table(), which passes it to<br />
__sg_alloc_table(). This function calls memset() on sgt in an attempt to<br />
zero it out. If the allocation fails then sgt will be NULL and the<br />
memset will trigger a NULL pointer dereference.<br />
<br />
Fix this by checking the allocation with KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL().
