[PATCH v2 4/6] net-PPP: Less function calls in mppe_alloc() after error detection

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

 



From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2014 22:30:20 +0100

The functions crypto_free_blkcipher((), crypto_free_hash() and kfree() could be
called in some cases by the mppe_alloc() function during error handling even
if the passed data structure element contained still a null pointer.

This implementation detail could be improved by adjustments for jump labels.
