Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: spectrum_acl_tcam: Fix incorrect list API usage
Both the function that migrates all the chunks within a region and the
function that migrates all the entries within a chunk call
list_first_entry() on the respective lists without checking that the
lists are not empty. This is incorrect usage of the API, which leads to
the following warning [1].
Fix by returning if the lists are empty as there is nothing to migrate
in this case.
