There were two occurrances of attempting to initialize actualType by calling virStorageSourceGetActualType(src) prior to a check if (!src) resulting in Coverity complaining about the possible NULL dereference in virStorageSourceGetActualType() of src. Resolve by moving the actualType setting until after checking !src Signed-off-by: John Ferlan <jferlan@xxxxxxxxxx> --- src/storage/storage_driver.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/storage/storage_driver.c b/src/storage/storage_driver.c index 5ddc23a..433d7b7 100644 --- a/src/storage/storage_driver.c +++ b/src/storage/storage_driver.c @@ -2441,11 +2441,12 @@ virStorageFileIsInitialized(virStorageSourcePtr src) static bool virStorageFileSupportsBackingChainTraversal(virStorageSourcePtr src) { - int actualType = virStorageSourceGetActualType(src); + int actualType; virStorageFileBackendPtr backend; if (!src) return false; + actualType = virStorageSourceGetActualType(src); if (src->drv) { backend = src->drv->backend; @@ -2473,11 +2474,12 @@ virStorageFileSupportsBackingChainTraversal(virStorageSourcePtr src) bool virStorageFileSupportsSecurityDriver(virStorageSourcePtr src) { - int actualType = virStorageSourceGetActualType(src); + int actualType; virStorageFileBackendPtr backend; if (!src) return false; + actualType = virStorageSourceGetActualType(src); if (src->drv) { backend = src->drv->backend; -- 1.9.3 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
