4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit e1a7418529e33bc4efc346324557251a16a3e79b ] Currently the allocation of priv->oldaddr is not null checked which will lead to subsequent errors when accessing priv->oldaddr. Fix this with a null pointer check and a return of -ENOMEM on allocation failure. Detected with Coccinelle: drivers/staging/rtl8192u/r8192U_core.c:1708:2-15: alloc with no test, possible model on line 1723 Fixes: 8fc8598e61f6 ("Staging: Added Realtek rtl8192u driver to staging") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <alexander.levin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/staging/rtl8192u/r8192U_core.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) --- a/drivers/staging/rtl8192u/r8192U_core.c +++ b/drivers/staging/rtl8192u/r8192U_core.c @@ -1705,6 +1705,8 @@ static short rtl8192_usb_initendpoints(s priv->rx_urb[16] = usb_alloc_urb(0, GFP_KERNEL); priv->oldaddr = kmalloc(16, GFP_KERNEL); + if (!priv->oldaddr) + return -ENOMEM; oldaddr = priv->oldaddr; align = ((long)oldaddr) & 3; if (align) {
