This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled video: fbdev: sis: fix null ptr dereference to the 5.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: video-fbdev-sis-fix-null-ptr-dereference.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 40f0e848133d6a6a76b67dbd2335ce974ad7d620 Author: Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Aug 5 07:52:08 2020 -0700 video: fbdev: sis: fix null ptr dereference [ Upstream commit ad6f93e9cd56f0b10e9b22e3e137d17a1a035242 ] Clang static analysis reports this representative error init.c:2501:18: warning: Array access (from variable 'queuedata') results in a null pointer dereference templ |= ((queuedata[i] & 0xc0) << 3); This is the problem block of code if(ModeNo > 0x13) { ... if(SiS_Pr->ChipType == SIS_730) { queuedata = &FQBQData730[0]; } else { queuedata = &FQBQData[0]; } } else { } queuedata is not set in the else block Reviewing the old code, the arrays FQBQData730 and FQBQData were used directly. So hoist the setting of queuedata out of the if-else block.
