[PATCH] ath6kl: fix null skb dereference in ath6kl_rx()

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

 



smatch found that skb might be null in some cases in ath6kl_rx():

ath6kl/txrx.c +1252 ath6kl_rx(222) error: potential null derefence 'skb'.

This will happen when ath6kl is in AP mode and two clients send traffic
to each other.
