Subject: [PATCH] Fixes a null pointer dereference in ptp_ioctl
Date: Mon,  6 Nov 2023 06:18:29 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <DB3PR10MB683554F488A562C8A89286C2E8AAA@DB3PR10MB6835.EURPRD10.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM> (raw)

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

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