Subject: [PATCH] netfiler: compat out of scope fix
Date: Sat, 6 Feb 2010 00:17:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100205221757.GD27953@x200> (raw)
As per 6.2.4(2) when temporary table data goes out of scope,
the behaviour is undefined:
if (compat) {
struct foo tmp;
...
private = &tmp;
}
[dereference private]
