From d92c7f8aabae913de16eb855b19cd2002c341896 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2012 10:33:12 +0000 Subject: caif: Do not dereference NULL in chnl_recv_cb() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In net/caif/chnl_net.c::chnl_recv_cb() we call skb_header_pointer() which may return NULL, but we do not check for a NULL pointer before dereferencing it. This patch adds such a NULL check and properly free's allocated memory and return an error (-EINVAL) on failure - much better than crashing..
