[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 106/190] staging: wilc1000: fix unchecked return value

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

 



From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 9e96652756ad647b7bcc03cb99ffc9756d7b5f93 ]

Function dev_alloc_skb() will return a NULL pointer if there is no
enough memory. However, in function WILC_WFI_mon_xmit(), its return
value is used without validation. This may result in a bad memory access
bug. This patch fixes the bug.
