[patch] fix error paths in cfg80211_wext_siwscan()

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

 



The new code calls kfree(creq) and on the wreq->essid_len > IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN
case it also unlocks the rdev lock.

This was found with a static checker and compile tested only.  :/
