NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek package and not the kernel-uek package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

PCI: keystone: Fix if-statement expression in ks_pcie_quirk()

This code accidentally uses && where || was intended. It potentially results in a NULL dereference.

Thus, fix the if-statement expression to use the correct condition.
