What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-test: Add NULL check for DMA channels before release

The fields dma_chan_tx and dma_chan_rx of the struct pci_epf_test can be

NULL even after EPF initialization. Then it is prudent to check that

they have non-NULL values before releasing the channels. Add the checks

in pci_epf_test_clean_dma_chan().

Without the checks, NULL pointer dereferences happen and they can lead

to a kernel panic in some cases:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000050
