[PATCH 5.15 74/76] hv_sock: Initializing vsk->trans to NULL to prevent a dangling pointer

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

 



5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hyunwoo Kim <v4bel@xxxxxxxxx>

commit e629295bd60abf4da1db85b82819ca6a4f6c1e79 upstream.

When hvs is released, there is a possibility that vsk->trans may not
be initialized to NULL, which could lead to a dangling pointer.
This issue is resolved by initializing vsk->trans to NULL.
