[PATCH2 6/7] staging: brcm80211: fix potential null pointer access handling ucode buffer

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

 



Allocation of buffer in function wl_ucode_init_buf can fail. This was
signalled by an error message, but code continued to access the null
pointer. This is now avoided by jumping to failure label.
