In is_valid_state(), there is an if statement on line 839 to check
whether nc is NULL:
if (nc)
When nc is NULL, it is used on line 880:
(nc->verify_alg[0] == 0)
Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.
To fix this bug, nc is also checked on line 880.
This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
