Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Validate hdwq pointers before dereferencing in reset/errata paths
When the HBA is undergoing a reset or is handling an errata event, NULL ptr
dereference crashes may occur in routines such as
lpfc_sli_flush_io_rings(), lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_callbk(), or
lpfc_abort_handler().
Add NULL ptr checks before dereferencing hdwq pointers that may have been
freed due to operations colliding with a reset or errata event handler.
