[PATCH 4.7 043/141] i40iw: Avoid writing to freed memory

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

 



4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mustafa Ismail <mustafa.ismail@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 433c58139f6a7d59824aadd23d6c9cac1d4e6100 upstream.

iwpbl->iwmr points to the structure that contains iwpbl,
which is iwmr. Setting this to NULL would result in
writing to freed memory. So just free iwmr, and return.

Fixes: d37498417947 ("i40iw: add files for iwarp interface")
