[PATCH 1/2] um: vector: Fix a potential NULL pointer dereference in 'vector_net_open()'

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

 



'create_queue()' returns NULL in case of memory allocation failure. So we
must check if it succeeds in order to avoid potential NULL pointer
dereference.

For 'vp->rx_queue', the dereference would occur just one line after the
failed allocation. For 'vp->tx_queue', it would occur later during normal
processing.
