[PATCH] ACPI: video: Fix a null-pointer-dereference in acpi_video_bus_add

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



acpi_video_bus_add_notify_handler() could free video->input and
set it to NULL on failure, but this failure will be missed in its
caller acpi_video_bus_add(). As a result, when an error happens in
acpi_dev_install_notify_handler(), acpi_video_bus_add() will call
acpi_video_bus_remove_notify_handler(), where a potential null pointer
video->input is dereferenced in input_unregister_device().

Fix this by adding a return value check and adjusting the following
error handling code.
