Summary		(es) En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: media: iris: Corrección de desreferencia de puntero NULL Una advertencia reportada por smatch indicaba una posible desreferencia de puntero nulo donde uno de los argumentos de la API 'iris_hfi_gen2_handle_system_error' podría ser nulo en ocasiones. Para solucionar esto, añadir una comprobación para validar que el argumento pasado no sea nulo antes de acceder a sus miembros.
