Subject: CVE-2023-52893: gsmi: fix null-deref in gsmi_get_variable

Description
===========

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

gsmi: fix null-deref in gsmi_get_variable

We can get EFI variables without fetching the attribute, so we must
allow for that in gsmi.

commit 859748255b43 ("efi: pstore: Omit efivars caching EFI varstore
access layer") added a new get_variable call with attr=NULL, which
triggers panic in gsmi.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-52893 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
