[PATCH RESEND] ptp: Fixes a null pointer dereference in ptp_ioctl
Posted by Yuran Pereira 2 years, 1 month ago 
Syzkaller found a null pointer dereference in ptp_ioctl
originating from the lack of a null check for tsevq.

```
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical
	address 0xdffffc000000020b: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN

This patch fixes the issue by adding a check for tsevq and
ensuring ptp_ioctl returns with an error if tsevq is null.

Ugh, I just noticed that this is a fixed version of previous attempt,
for those please always bump version and include changelog, please
also comply with:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/process/maintainer-netdev.html

if only to don't fool random reviewers
(I somewhat assumed that you have just rebased some old patch,
PATCH RESEND was misleading here)
