Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH maint] batman-adv: avoid double free when orig_node initialization fails
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2014 20:00:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1392145235-3914-1-git-send-email-antonio@meshcoding.com> (raw)
In the failure path of the orig_node initialization routine
a double free is hit because orig_node->bat_iv.bcast_own is
not set to NULL after being free'd.
Fix it by setting bcast_own to NULL after having free'd it.
