In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: qedf: Fix NULL dereference in error handling Smatch reported: drivers/scsi/qedf/qedf_main.c:3056 qedf_alloc_global_queues() warn: missing unwind goto? At this point in the function, nothing has been allocated so we can return directly. In particular the "qedf->global_queues" have not been allocated so calling qedf_free_global_queues() will lead to a NULL dereference when we check if (!gl[i]) and "gl" is NULL.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - scsi: qedf: Fix NULL dereference in error handling Smatch reported: drivers/scsi/qedf/qedf_main.c:3056     qedf_alloc_global_queues() warn: missing unwind goto? At this point in the function, nothing has been     allocated so we can return directly. In particular the qedf->global_queues have not been allocated so     calling qedf_free_global_queues() will lead to a NULL dereference when we check if (!gl[i]) and gl is     NULL. (CVE-2023-54289)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
