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

 



From: Bob Moore <robert.moore@xxxxxxxxx>

commit a50abf4842dd7d603a2ad6dcc7f1467fd2a66f03 upstream.

Disallow the dereference of a reference (via index) to an uninitialized
package element. Provides compatibility with other ACPI
implementations. ACPICA BZ 1003.
