Subject: [PATCH 3/3] perf sort: Check return value of strdup()
Date: Wed,  6 Feb 2013 14:57:17 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1360130237-9963-3-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1360130237-9963-1-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org>

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>

When setup_sorting() is called, 'str' is passed to strtok_r() but it's
not checked to have a valid pointer.  As strtok_r() accepts NULL
pointer on a first argument and use the third argument in that case,
it can cause a trouble since our third argument, tmp, is not
initialized.
