[PATCH] HID: core: fix NULL pointer dereference

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

 



There is a NULL pointer dereference in case memory resources
for *parse* are not successfully allocated.

Fix this by adding a new goto label and make the execution
path jump to it in case vzalloc() fails.
