[PATCH v2 02/11] wilc1000: fix possible memory leak in cfg_scan_result()

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

 



From: Ajay Singh <ajay.kathat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When the BSS reference holds a valid reference, it is not freed. The 'if'
condition is wrong. Instead of the 'if (bss)' check, the 'if (!bss)' check
is used.
The issue is solved by removing the unnecessary 'if' check because
cfg80211_put_bss() already performs the NULL validation.

Fixes: 6cd4fa5ab691 ("staging: wilc1000: make use of cfg80211_inform_bss_frame()")
