[PATCH] mwifiex: check for null return from skb_copy

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

 



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

It is possible for skb_copy to return a null pointer and currently
this will cause a null pointer dereference when the function
mwifiex_uap_queue_bridged_pkt is called.  Fix this by checking for
a null return from skb_copy and return -ENOMEM.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return")
Fixes: 838e4f449297 ("mwifiex: improve uAP RX handling")
