In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: dvb-usb: az6027: fix null-ptr-deref in az6027_i2c_xfer()
Wei Chen reports a kernel bug as blew:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017]

In az6027_i2c_xfer(), if msg[i].addr is 0x99,
a null-ptr-deref will caused when accessing msg[i].buf.
For msg[i].len is 0 and msg[i].buf is null.
Fix this by checking msg[i].len in az6027_i2c_xfer().
