[PATCH 1/2] IB/sysfs: fix NULL dereference

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

 



If stats->names is NULL or stats->num_counters <= 0 we are jumping to
the error path where the for loop is freeing hsag->attrs[i]. But as i
is initialized to 0 so i >= 0 will be true and the loop will execute
once trying to free hsag->attrs[0]. But hsag is NULL still now leading
to a NULL pointer dereference.
