[PATCH] ipmi: fix use after free in _ipmi_destroy_user()

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

 



The intf_free() function frees the "intf" pointer so we cannot
dereference it again on the next line.

Fixes: cbb79863fc31 ("ipmi: Don't allow device module unload when in use")
