[PATCH] staging: vc04_services: fix NULL pointer dereference on pointer 'service'

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

 



From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, if pservice is null then service is set to NULL and immediately
afterwards service is dereferenced causing a null pointer dereference. Fix
this by bailing out early of the function with a null return.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1419681 ("Explicit null dereferenced")
