[PATCH] ata: libata-core: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences in ata_host_alloc_pinfo()

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

 



In ata_host_alloc_pinfo(), when ppi[j] is NULL (line 6184), pi is NULL.
In this case, pi is used on lines 6187-6195:
    ap->pio_mask = pi->pio_mask;
    ap->mwdma_mask = pi->mwdma_mask;
    ...
Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur.

To fix these possible bugs, when ppi[j] is NULL, the loop continues, and
"j++" is moved to the loop's regulator.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
