[PATCH] Fix potential bug in le_advertising_report()

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

 



In the current implementation of le_advertising_report(), the variable
'info' has an invalid memory address after the 'for' loop. If 'info'
is dereferenced it will access invalid memory.

This patch fixes this potential bug and improves the code's readability.
