[PATCH] [media] lirc: fix error paths in lirc_cdev_add()

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

 



"c77d17c0 [media] lirc: use-after free" introduces two problems:
cdev_del() can be called with a NULL argument, and the kobject_put()
path will cause a double free.
