In SMB2_open there are several paths where the SendReceive2 call will return an error before it sets rsp_iov.iov_base thus leaving iov_base uninitialized. Thus we need to check rsp before we dereference it in the call to get_rfc1002_length(). A report of this issue was previously reported in http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-cifs/msg12846.html RH-bugzilla : 1476151 Version 2 : * Lets properly initialize rsp_iov before we use it.
