[PATCH 4.9 031/125] MIPS: OCTEON: irq: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference

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

 



From: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 792a402c2840054533ef56279c212ef6da87d811 upstream.

There is a potential NULL pointer dereference in case kzalloc()
fails and returns NULL.

Fix this by adding a NULL check on *cd*

This bug was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
