[PATCH] mac80211: fix possible NULL pointerderef in obss pd code

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

 



he_spr_ie_elem is dereferenced before the NULL check. fix this by moving
the assignment after the check.

fixes commit 697f6c507c74 ("mac80211: propagate HE operation info into
bss_conf")

This was reported by the static code checker.
