Official description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: target: tcm_loop: Fix segfault in tcm_loop_tpg_address_show() If the allocation of tl_hba->sh fails in tcm_loop_driver_probe() and we attempt to dereference it in tcm_loop_tpg_address_show() we will get a segfault, see below for an example. So, check tl_hba->sh before dereferencing it.
