Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: spectrum_acl_tcam: Fix NULL pointer dereference in error path
When calling mlxsw_sp_acl_tcam_region_destroy() from an error path after
failing to attach the region to an ACL group, we hit a NULL pointer
dereference upon 'region->group->tcam' [1].
Fix by retrieving the 'tcam' pointer using mlxsw_sp_acl_to_tcam().
[1]

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, where a faulty error handler in the driver for certain Mellanox hardware could lead to a null pointer reference. This issue affects system stability.
