If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 5f46feab87bb105d6a217d966b327fdc56696802 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 10 May 2016 22:20:04 +0300 Subject: qlcnic: potential NULL dereference in qlcnic_83xx_get_minidump_template() From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 5f46feab87bb105d6a217d966b327fdc56696802 upstream. If qlcnic_fw_cmd_get_minidump_temp() fails then "fw_dump->tmpl_hdr" is NULL or possibly freed. It can lead to an oops later.
