In snd_gf1_mem_xfree(), there is an if statement on line 72 and line 74 to check whether block->next is NULL: if (block->next) When block->next is NULL, block->next is used on line 84: block->next->prev = block->prev; Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur in this case. To fix this possible bug, block->next is checked before using it. This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
