[PATCH 1/1] staging: wilc1000: fix unchecked return value

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

 



From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@xxxxxxx>

Function dev_alloc_skb() will return a NULL pointer if there is no
enough memory. However, in function WILC_WFI_mon_xmit(), its return
value is used without validation. This may result in a bad memory access
bug. This patch fixes the bug.
