[PATCH stable v4.4] libertas: fix a potential NULL pointer dereference

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

 



From: Allen Pais <allen.pais@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7da413a18583baaf35dd4a8eb414fa410367d7f2 upstream.

alloc_workqueue is not checked for errors and as a result,
a potential NULL dereference could occur.
