NULL checks at line 457: if (!link0 || !link1) {, implies that both pointers link0 and link1 might be NULL. Function nfcsim_link_free() dereference pointers link0 and link1. Add NULL checks before calling nfcsim_link_free() to avoid a potential NULL pointer dereference. Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1364857 Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
