[PATCH] [v2] wifi: mwifiex: avoid possible NULL skb pointer dereference

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

 



In 'mwifiex_handle_uap_rx_forward()', always check the value
returned by 'skb_copy()' to avoid potential NULL pointer
dereference in 'mwifiex_uap_queue_bridged_pkt()', and drop
original skb in case of copying failure.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
