[PATCH] crypto: fix potential NULL pointer dereference in skcipher_alloc_sgl()

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

 



From: Jie Liu <jeff.liu@xxxxxxxxxx>

In skcipher_alloc_sgl(), there is a potential null pointer dereference
issue to retrieve the last item from ctx->tsgl list if the list is empty.

This patch fix it by checking if the list is empty or not at first.
