[PATCH][next] staging: rtl8188eu: Fix null pointer dereference on free_netdev call

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

 



From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

An unregister_netdev call checks if pnetdev is null, hence a later
call to free_netdev can potentially be passing a null pointer, causing
a null pointer dereference. Avoid this by adding a null pointer check
on pnetdev before calling free_netdev.

Fixes: 1665c8fdffbb ("staging: rtl8188eu: use netdev routines for private data")
