[PATCH] rtlwifi: fix null dereference on efuse_word on kmalloc fail returns NULL

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

 



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

kmalloc on efuse_word can return null, leading to free'ing of
elements in efuse_word on the error exit path even though it has not
been allocated.  Instead, don't free the elements of efuse_word if
kmalloc failed.

Also, kmalloc of any of the arrays in efuse_word[] can also fail,
leading to undefined contents in the remaining elements leading to
problems when free'ing these elements later on.  So kzalloc efuse_word
to ensure the kfree on the remaining elements won't cause breakage.
