[PATCH 0/1][SRU][B] CVE-2019-12818: NFC LLCP DoS

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.20.15. The
nfc_llcp_build_tlv function in net/nfc/llcp_commands.c may return NULL.
If the caller does not check for this, it will trigger a NULL pointer
dereference. This will cause denial of service. This affects
nfc_llcp_build_gb in net/nfc/llcp_core.c.

The patch is a clean cherry pick. Build logs show no related compiler
warnings. I am unable to test the NFC driver.
