In iscsi_conn_get_addr_param(), sin6 may be NULL when reaching lines 3479 and 3487: len = sprintf(buf, "%pI6\n", &sin6->sin6_addr); len = sprintf(buf, "%hu\n", be16_to_cpu(sin6->sin6_port)); Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur. To fix these bugs, sin6 is checked before being used, and len is initialized to -EINVAL. These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
