From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The pointer rtwsta is dereferencing pointer sta before sta is being null checked, so there is a potential null pointer deference issue that may occur. Fix this by only assigning rtwsta after sta has been null checked. Add in a null pointer check on rtwsta before dereferencing it too.
