From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b55f3b841099e641bdb2701d361a4c304e2dbd6f ] In hwsim_dump_radio_nl(), when genlmsg_put() on line 3617 fails, hdr is assigned to NULL. Then hdr is used on lines 3622 and 3623: genl_dump_check_consistent(cb, hdr); genlmsg_end(skb, hdr); Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur. To fix these bugs, hdr is used here when it is not NULL. This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
