[PATCH] zsmalloc: fix a null pointer dereference in destroy_handle_cache()

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

 



zs_destroy_pool()->destroy_handle_cache() invoked from
zs_create_pool() can pass a NULL ->handle_cachep pointer
to kmem_cache_destroy(), which will dereference it.
