[patch added to the 3.12 stable tree] media: cx18: check for allocation failure in cx18_read_eeprom()

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

 



From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit e351bf25fa373a3de0be2141b962c5c3c27006a2 upstream.

It upsets static checkers when we don't check for allocation failure.  I
moved the memset() of "tv" earlier so we don't use uninitialized data on
error.
Fixes: 1d212cf0c2d8 ('[media] cx18: struct i2c_client is too big for stack')
