[PATCH net 3/5] net/mlx5e: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ioctl module EEPROM query
Posted by Mark Bloch 1 month, 2 weeks ago
From: Gal Pressman <gal@nvidia.com>

The mlx5_query_mcia() function unconditionally dereferences the status
pointer to store the MCIA register status value.
However, mlx5e_get_module_id() passes NULL since it doesn't need the
status value.

Add a NULL check before dereferencing the status pointer to prevent a
NULL pointer dereference.

Fixes: 2e4c44b12f4d ("net/mlx5: Refactor EEPROM query error handling to return status separately")
